Welcome
Norwich
Primary Academy is one of the largest primary schools in Norwich with approximately 350 children. We have two classes per year from Reception to Year 6. We believe that every child can reach their full potential and achieve excellent outcomes Our curriculum is both inclusive and ambitious: all of our pupils are entitled to a broad, balanced and knowledge-rich curriculum. Our curriculum has subject-specific knowledge at its heart with a clear focus on English and maths. The development of our pupils academically, morally, physically and socially reaches far beyond the walls of the classroom, but we also understand the importance of the knowledge our pupils learn, which will set them on the path to the happiness and success they deserve. To support children when learning to read, we teach phonics through the Read Write Inc programme, which gives them a strong foundation from which to understand written text

I look forward to welcoming you to our school.
