About Occold Primary School

Occold Primary is a traditional village primary school on the outskirts of Eye. Our small size and close links with the community means that all the staff know each and every child and their family very well. This gives us the unique opportunity to create highly personalised learning experiences for our children and provide a nurturing environment that recognises individual circumstances.

"Mixed bag"

While I appreciate the school's focus on individual needs and its eco-friendly initiatives, I've experienced some inconsistent support from teachers and lack of communication about my child's progress. The facilities and community events are top-notch, but more consistency in education would make me feel more confident in my choice.

"Exceptional school experience"

We moved to the area 3 years ago and enrolled our daughter at Occold Primary. The school's commitment to personalized learning and community involvement really shone through. My daughter made incredible progress and formed lasting friendships. We're so grateful for our positive experience and would highly recommend Occold to any family.

"A school that feels like home"

My children have been at Occold Primary for 7 years and I've seen them thrive in every way. The staff truly care about each child and go out of their way to support them. The recent awards for Suffolk Primary School of the Year and Overall Education Hero are well-deserved and make me even more proud to be a part of this community.
