Snettisham Primary School is a special place where children are encouraged to be happy and develop a love of learning together.

We are a small school in a rural area but our ambition is big; wishing to teach and inspire our pupils to achieve and succeed. We live in a beautiful part of Norfolk but have limited access to the wider world. So we have planned and deliver a bespoke knowledge rich curriculum from reception to year six. We want everyone to experience and enjoy learning across a broad, relevant and diverse curriculum. Pupils are ready to make the transitions across Key Stages and our pupils do well when they move to Smithdon High School – our local school.

We enjoy regular sporting opportunities, clubs, music lessons, visits and outdoor learning. We enrich our curriculum further with performances, competitions and poetry recitals. We have an Artsmark Award, Kitemark Awards and are beginning our journey as an International School.

We remain a highly inclusive and supportive school, working with families in equal partnership.
