Sacred Heart School, in Swaffham since 1914, is a fee-paying school with some 160 pupils in its nursery, lower and senior schools. This year it has asked the community to help raise funds to keep it open. This was unsuccessful and the school recently announced that it would be closing at the end of the summer term. The Catholic Diocese of East Anglia has been working on plans for a new Catholic primary school, the first in Norfolk for decades, in its place. This week the plan was approved by Norfolk County Council.
"Sacred Heart Catholic Voluntary Aided Primary School in Swaffham has been selected by the Department for Education to be
included in the latest round of its Schools Rebuilding Programme (SRP) for priority funding." Story continues.

Swaftham did not allow all the Covid-19 restrictions to dampen their Christmas cheer as they raised money for Uganda. A Christmas jumper design competition was one of many events which the school arranged in the lead-up to the Nativity. Won by Kimmie, the competition attracted a variety of artistic jumpers for the children to model. Money raised has been donated to the Sisters' mission in Uganda.". Story continues
