A word from our Headteacher

Flitcham Church of England Primary Academy is a joyful, nurturing village school set in the heart of the Royal Sandringham Estate. Our unique location shapes daily school life: children learn, play and grow surrounded by beautiful countryside, rich heritage and a strong sense of community. We are proud to have been judged Good in all areas in our most recent Ofsted inspection (May 2023), recognising the strength of our teaching, leadership and pastoral care.

Flitcham is a very special place. As a Church of England Academy, our ethos is rooted in Christian values, guiding the spiritual, moral, cultural, intellectual and social development of every child. We are deeply connected to our local churches, our village community and the Sandringham Estate, and these relationships enrich the experiences we offer.

Catherine KingExecutive Headteacher

I am proud to be working at Flitcham as I am part of a close knit community, where staff, children and families work closely together, at the heart of our rural setting, providing children with a supportive learning environment. Staff

I like coming to school here, there are fun lessons, everyone is very friendly, I have made lots of friends since moving here. I have great teachers and teaching assistants. I really enjoy forest school and doing experiments in Science. It is fun having a sports coach and I learn lots of new things. I am looking forward to going to a residential in year 5 and 6. We also do lots of other trips, recently we went to Sainsbury Art Centre in Norwich, which was great fun. Pupil

You are so kind to your pupils and create such a fun learning environment. They have both excelled in your care and have always been very excited to come to school when they know you are there. You have a holistic approach and this carries over to the families of the children you care for. You have been very kind to me personally and I have always felt so happy knowing that my children are in your care. In short, you’re one in a million, a very special teacher. Parent

Parents spoken to during the inspection were overwhelmingly positive about the work of the school and how the executive headteacher and staff ensure that their children settle well and are safe and happy. One parent commented, ‘I am so pleased with how my children have settled.' Ofsted
