The school is situated in delightful surroundings in the historic village of Litcham and is within easy reach of the North Norfolk coast, Norwich, and King's Lynn. Litcham is centrally located in the county and there is a wide range of affordable housing in the area.

It is also an area of opportunity, good public services, and a relatively buoyant economy, all of which make it a fantastic place in which to live and work.
