The History of the School

Attleborough Infant School is sited about 15 miles south-west of Norwich and is one of the largest infant schools in the County. It serves the growing town of Attleborough, as well as a number of outlying villages. The original establishment, known as the National School, was run by the Church and opened in 1840. New buildings were erected for infants in 1875 and further additions were built in 1895 and 1898. In 1952 a large extension consisting of hall, cloakroom, work area and two classrooms were added with two further classrooms being built at the rear of the school in 1971.

The school served children from the ages of 5-14 until the 1960s when the High School opened to take pupils from the age of 11. In 1974, under reorganisation in Norfolk, Attleborough County First School for 5-8 year olds was established, followed by subsequent reorganisation in 1999 to an Infant School.

We are extremely proud of our latest OFSTED report (April 2010).

It highlights the outstanding features of our school including the 'exemplary behaviour' of our children.
