Welcome
Nestled in our small rural village, we may be a school with small numbers, but we have truly huge hearts. We are a caring, nurturing community where every child is known, valued and celebrated as an individual. Our dedicated staff work closely together to create a safe, supportive environment in which children feel happy, confident and ready to learn. At the heart of everything we do is a strong sense of belonging—because here, every child and every member of staff matters. Children enjoy coming to school and are happy here, and our parents consistently tell us how pleased they are with their children’s progress and the care shown by our dedicated staff.
Our inclusive Christian vision actively guides everything we do, shaping teaching, relationships and daily routines. Guided by our vision of “being the best we can be”, we nurture a culture where relationships thrive and where pupils and adults grow spiritually, emotionally and academically. Empathy, kindness and mutual respect sit at the heart of school life, creating a compassionate environment in which everyone feels deeply valued and supported.
Parents describe Norland as a “lovely, supportive, warm and welcoming school” and often speak of the strong sense of community and belonging. They tell us how much they appreciate the fantastic teachers, the supportive leadership and the way staff truly care about the development of every child. Hearing families say “we wouldn’t want to be anywhere else” or simply “we love school ❤️” means so much to us.
Inspectors have recognised Norland as a school where everyone is valued. Pupils feel safe, are safe, and show kindness and consideration to one another. Older pupils take pride in supporting younger children, and staff know pupils well, ensuring that every child—including those who may be vulnerable—receives the care and support they need to flourish.
We are incredibly proud of our school and the community we share. If you would like to visit Norland CE School, find out more about what we offer, or discuss how we can support your child, we would be delighted to welcome you. Please do get in touch — we would love to meet you and show you what makes Norland such a special place to learn and grow.
