Welcome to Erpingham Primary School

Erpingham Primary School educates pupils between the ages of four to eleven years in a friendly, family atmosphere. We have small classes, up to date technology, and a beautiful environment in which to learn and play. Last year our successes were sealed with two school inspections – an OFSTED in January 08 and Diocesan inspection in March 08; both inspections judged Erpingham Primary to be a Good School with many Outstanding features. We currently have 27 pupils on roll. Our children are happy individuals who benefit from personalised learning and quality teaching.
We have a huge educational emphasis on learning through first hand experience. Our children take part in many outdoor, practical activities through which much of the curriculum is taught. We maintain the discrete teaching of Literacy, Numeracy and Science, but children learn to apply these skills to practical situations – for example, through their enjoyment of Forest Schools or through developing their Company GREENS! Our grounds are superb and currently being developed; a small Amphitheatre has been built at the front of the school, and our pond area has been extended to include an outdoor learning seating area and a large bird hide. We won the NNDC Environmental Award 2007 for our grounds development. And the 2008/9 Campaign for Rural ENgland Schools Award. We have further plans to improve our school premises in the near future.
Everyone in our school community works consistently hard to ensure our children achieve their best and enjoy their learning.

Simon East joined our school in September 2009 as our acting Head teacher.
