In June 2023, Lady Dannatt, High Sheriff of Norfolk, attended the school as representative of King Charles III for the announcement by the Bishop of Norwich that the new Bishop of Thetford will be the Venerable Ian Bishop.  The Ven Bishop was previously the Vicar of Tasburgh, Tharston, Saxlingham Nethergate, Shotesham, Newton Flotman and Swainsthorpe.  He had previously been Chair of Governors at Preston, and his sons attended the school in the 1990s.  Following the announcement, the Ven Bishop led our Collective Worship, which took place outside by the gazebo and wildflower garden.  It was a real privilege to be part of such a special occasion, and I would like to extend my thanks to the children, staff and governors for working so hard to get the school ready for the occasion.
