We are passionate about ensuring that every moment matters in a child’s education and pride ourselves on building firm foundations for a lifelong love of learning for each and every child who forms part of our vibrant school community.
To ensure that we make the most out of every moment of a child’s formative years we provide them with an education that can be characterised by breadth of opportunity, appropriate challenge and a real commitment to helping each child to become the very best version of themselves. As a result, pupils are ambitious in their daily school lives and throw themselves energetically into a multitude of activities both inside and outside the classroom. This in turn fosters an outstandingly happy school, where children are positive and above all else busy in the best way possible – a childhood where learning is the ultimate adventure.
Preparing our children for the future is at the heart of all we do and they move seamlessly from Town Close into leading senior schools locally and nationally, with many celebrating scholarship success in a wide variety of subject areas.
Our beautiful wooded fifteen-acre site in Norwich gives all of our children space and freedom contributing substantially to our recipe for success; great people, in a nurturing environment, given incredible opportunities.

External Reviews
You have often heard me speak about the strengths and spirit of our school, but it is equally important to hear the views of independent experts. I invite you to read the latest reviews from the Good Schools Guide and Muddy Stilettos via the links below.

Here are some of their key reflections:
"A charming school with fairytale grounds and a joie de vivre we wish we could bottle. Ideal for children wanting to give everything a go."
"All classes were illuminated with investigation, creation and fun. Good old-fashioned pen and paper, tech where appropriate. Parents describe the academic approach as ‘supportive’ and ‘flexible’. One said their child's ‘development is moving fast since moving to reception and they are now keen to do more work at home."
"Parents say this is a school that ‘prepares children for life’ – as evidenced in the Nest, a new cookery room has height-adjustable workspaces, where we saw children making pigs-in-blankets. ‘This term's theme is parts of the Christmas dinner,’ a pupil told us excitedly in between laying out her rashers of bacon."
We very much look forward to welcoming you and your children in the near future.
