I'm so grateful to be a part of the Great Massingham CofE Primary School community. My child loves the mixed-aged classes and the way the teachers encourage them to help each other. The facilities are also excellent, especially the playground and the preschool!

"Mixed feelings about the school"

I'm a bit torn about Great Massingham. On the one hand, my child loves their teacher and the preschool is excellent. On the other hand, I feel that the school could do more to support children who are struggling academically. Overall, it's a decent school, but not perfect.
