New school for Castle Acre youngsters in 2010

Welcome to our new primary school! Head teacher Kenneth Kay is pictured in January 2010 with some of his pupils at the new Back Lane premises in Castle Acre.

In the foreground are five-year-old Thomas Holt (left) with school mascot Pen, and six-year-old Leanne Brett with mascot Gwen.

The pupils could finally celebrate moving into their new £2.2million school after the opening date had to be put back twice because of snow and ice.

The move from the former Victorian premises in Stocks Green was also fraught with problems for staff, the removal team and technicians because of the weather conditions over Christmas and the new year.
