Neatishead Church of England Primary School, Norwich

In its own words: "Neatishead nestles in the countryside surrounded by agricultural fields and close to the Broads. The school’s earlier logo was that of the swallow tail butterfly. The swallowtail is now limited to the Norfolk Broads, choosing sites with a vigorous growth of milk parsley, where it lays its eggs on the tallest plants."

From the headteacher's welcome: "Neatishead Church of England Primary School is federated with both Fleggburgh and Salhouse CofE primary schools. The school is situated in a beautiful rural area close to the sea and the Norfolk Broads. With Barton and Neatishead Pre School on site, children can enjoy learning on the school site from two years of age to eleven."
