New Reception Starters 2027!
Welcome to Our Reception Open Afternoons and Evenings 2027!
We are so excited to welcome families who are looking to join our Norland school community in September 2027. At our small but mighty village school, we pride ourselves on having big hearts, a nurturing environment, and a strong sense of togetherness.
Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you'll make, and we'd love to show you what makes Norland C of E Primary School so special.
Our wonderful Reception classroom has a maximum intake of just 15 children per year, allowing us to provide a nurturing, supportive environment where every child is truly known, valued and encouraged to thrive. With smaller class sizes, children benefit from more individual attention, stronger relationships with staff, and the opportunity to develop confidence both academically and socially.
As a small village school, we offer:
✨ A caring, family atmosphere
✨ High-quality teaching and learning
✨ Strong relationships with families
✨ Extensive outdoor learning opportunities
✨ A focus on every child's individual needs and strengths
We believe every child deserves the very best start to their educational journey, and our small class sizes help us ensure they receive exactly that.
If you are considering a Reception place for your child, we warmly invite you to come along to one of our open sessions to see what makes our school so special:

All are welcome—we can’t wait to meet you and share a glimpse of life at our school. Please feel free to contact school to let us know of your interest or, alternatively, if you cannot attend the sessions above but would still like to visit us, please do reach out!
We’d love you to visit both of our wonderful village schools — Norland and St Mary’s. Each offers its own unique charm, and with only a short 5–7 minute journey between them, it’s easy to explore both settings and see the exceptional opportunities our federation provides. Come and experience the warmth, the nurture and the beautiful rural environments that make our schools such special places for children to learn and grow.
