Massingham School

The school was founded in 1874 and is of brick in the traditional Victorian style.  There have been additions to the main building as well as a mobile classroom. We have three classes catering for 4+ to 11 year olds The school grounds are delightful with views of the Church of St Mary’s and of rolling fields and woods.  The playing fields are exceptionally fine, secure and spacious.

 

As a Voluntary Controlled Primary School we greatly value our close links with the local church. We feel that the school is an integral part of the village and that it is important to maintain a high level of involvement with our local community.

 

Our Aims

 

We accept the principles of the Norfolk Curriculum policy statement in preparing our children to be adaptable and flexible in their learning; with the skills necessary for adulthood in the 21st Century.

 

We aim to provide a secure, stimulating and happy environment in which such learning can take place.

 

We aim to challenge our children’s thinking, in a curriculum that sets high standards of achievement for all pupils.

 

Our aim for the children of Gt. Massingham Primary School is that they are:

 

· articulate

· literate

· numerate

· independent learners

· confident

 

and have the skills and understanding to apply the knowledge they learn.

 

We aim to encourage an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith and to promote Christian values through the ethos of the school and the experiences we offer to all our pupils.

 

The contributions of all adults involved with the school are of value in maintaining the consistency of relationships and standards of behaviour.
