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.
