November 2011. Norfolk Rural Schools Survey.
This red brick and pantile building is part of a terrace, with the rest of the terrace having flint cobbled walls with brick dressings. The terrace appears to date from the early 19th century. Norfolk County Council Education Committee docments indicate that the school was closed in 1956 or 1957, but admissions registers indicate that the building was used until 1979. Following the final closure of the school, the building was converted into a house with the addition of a porch to the front and several windows.
