The school, which has 120 staff, plans improvements to its art room this summer and is fundraising to install new sensory rooms, a soft playroom, accessible changing rooms and to improve our nursery provision with the number of pupils set to rise from 105 to 120 in September.
Pupils, aged from three to 19, attend from all over the county with some travelling from as far as Downham Market, King’s Lynn and Great Yarmouth.

Trevor Wang, vice-chair of governors, said: “When I became a governor 15 years ago the cohort was very different and essentially the classrooms haven’t changed that much, so we needed these new facilities.”

The new Lord Mayor and Sheriff of Norwich are due to be sworn in next week - but coronavirus means the traditional ceremony has had to be moved.
The mayor-making ceremony usually takes place at City Hall, with a procession through the streets of Norwich.
But, because of the number of people who attend, council bosses are not comfortable with holding the meeting in Norwich City Council s council chamber, so it has been moved to St Andrew s Hall.
The next planned incumbents of the civic posts are Labour councillor Kevin Maguire, due to become Lord Mayor and Caroline Jarrold, of Jarrold and Sons, set to become Sheriff.
