Norfolk County Council, in partnership with St John's Community Primary and Nursery school’s Governing Body part of The Green Shoots Federation are proposing:-

The published admission number (PAN) for the main school will not be affected by these proposals. The PAN for the maintained nursery class will cease to exist, as nursery provision will be offered in a more flexible way, according to parental demand.

Nursery provision will continue to be provided on the site of St John’s Community Primary School and Nursery, both the school and nursery will continue to be governed by the same board and led by the same head teacher. The nursery provision will operate via Section 27 Community Facility Powers under the direction of the School Governors of the Green Shoots Federation.
