What the school offers its staff
Burston Primary School is iconic and well known for its history, founded because of a school strike it then became the centre of the longest running strike in British history lasting from 1914 to 1939 in the village of Burston, Norfolk. Today, the building stands as a museum to the strike. Every year hundreds of people turn up for a rally to commemorate the 25-year strike.
Tivetshall Primary School is a small and intimate Victorian built school which was established in 1876 and has only 14 children across 2 classes. We’ve created a dynamic, friendly and secure environment with a positive approach to teaching. With small classes we can inspire each child, giving them close attention and ensuring they leave the school fully equipped for their next phase of learning. We have a strong leadership team and governing body, having created a positive ethos with a robust approach to continuous improvement this was recognised by Ofsted resulting in our school being rated as a “good” school.
