Old Buckenham Primary School is a much-loved one-form entry rural community school in the heart of Norfolk. First opened in 1963, we are set in stunning grounds featuring two playgrounds, a vast games field, international arboretum, and a dedicated outdoor learning space for our youngest learners.
We serve children from Reception through to Year 6, focusing on nurturing the whole child—intellectually, emotionally, physically, creatively, and morally. Our motto, “Inspiring learning for life”, underpins everything we do. We are proud of our strong community links, supportive staff, and the inclusive, caring environment we offer to all.
THE ROLE

Whether you're greeting guests, supporting the Headteacher, managing admin and communications, or keeping our front office running like clockwork – no two days will be the same.
This is a key leadership and coordination role in a small school where every contribution makes a big impact. The successful candidate will need to be highly organised, approachable, discreet, and able to manage a busy workload with a smile.
