Admissions
You are very welcome to visit the school at any time~ please make an appointment with the office. Admission is administered centrally by Norfolk County Council. If you are out of area there should be no problem with admission providing we have vacancies, though you will not be eligible for free school transport.
Our catchment area consists of the villages Great Dunham and Little Dunham. Pupils from Little Dunham are entitled to free transport. Click here for more information.
Our pupil admission number (PAN) is 11 per year group.
