Welcome to Docking
Here at Docking, we really want all our children, as they progress through the years, to have the highest possible aspirations for everything they do, whether it be work or play. Docking Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery is a small, popular school in the village of Docking situated between Hunstanton and Fakenham, just over 4 miles from the North Norfolk coast. We enjoy excellent relationships with our local community and particularly our beautiful village church, St. Mary's. The academy thoroughly enjoys a broad range of educational visits, trips, sports fixtures and other ventures which are enthusiastically supported by everyone. Docking Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery is fortunate to enjoy wonderful facilities including a large purpose-built sports hall, a modern Early Years environment and a spectacular 'Field of Dreams'.
