Stoke by Nayland C of E Primary School was unable to teach an entire class of pupils due to limited resources but now is able to accommodate all its students.

The school has made extensive improvements in other areas including a ‘Hideout Hub’ - a nurture space used for intervention programmes and a spiritual garden outside.
