The school building was built in 1840.
It was used as a local Authority school until 1992 and was then acquired by Tom and Sally North. They have restored it as closely as possible to how it would have been in Victorian times. For example, it is once again heated by a coal fired "Tortoise" stove and lit by an oil lamp.
The school was featured in the BBC TV Landmark series on Victorian Childhood.
Sally (left) has run the school as head-mistress since 1994 and many thousands of children have benefited from free school visits.
In 2022, the Eastern Daily Press listed school trips to Great Cressingham Victorian School as second best in the county.
The experience today was beyond the hopes of our imaginations. It was a visit of a lifetime and we will never forget it. JP Class teacher.
The children will have many memories from our day. I believe they have experienced something wonderful thanks to your hard work and attention to detail. SJ Class teacher.
A great success, all due to your amazing dedication and hard work. SB Headteacher
We loved how immersive, active, and hands on the experience was. It helped every child feel like a Victorian scholar. We also appreciated how you adapted to our childrens needs and praised their efforts throughout the day. Thank you for remembering their names and making each one of them feel special. SP Head of year teacher.
