We enjoy a close relationship with Newton Flotman (Cof E) Primary School. The children visit the church regularly and church members help in school too. We've been running with the national "Open the Book" programme in weekly collective worship in the school, and are proud of our dedicated band of volunteers who help the children to discover the riches of the Bible.
