At last! Earsham children can celebrate their new school. Their old school was a Victorian building and in these days certainly not fit for purpose. The County Council has funded this project to the tune of £1.9 million.

 The new school is to be opened by Bishop Graham James, Lord Bisop of Norwich on Monday 12th October at 9.15am. The children will have a playing field and play areas to use, these were not available in the old school.

Today the school has 75 pupils, but already there are plans to exptend the school to take in pupils affected by the reorganisations on schools in North Suffolk. Many families from the Bungay area prefer to send their children to this Norfolk school.

This new school is a huge asset for the community of Earsham and I shall be thrilled to see it opened by the Bishop. The modern and comfortable new buildings will support both teaching and learning and are a far cry from the old Victorian school. I wish the school every success in its new home and look forward to seeing the school grow in the years ahead.
