Village Life
Terrington St Clement has a wide selection of amenities, including a supermarket, farm shop, two doctor's surgeries, a post office, newsagents, bakers, fish & chip shop, Chinese takeaway, hairdressers and an estate agent in addition to the well-known Marshland Stores, a traditional hardware store with a very large range of products. It also has a village hall, scout hut, and two pubs, The King William and The Wildfowler, both of which serve food.
The village is linked to King's Lynn and Spalding, Lincolnshire by a half-hourly bus service, and to Wisbech by a less frequent bus service that skirts the south of the village.
Terrington St Clement has state run primary and secondary schools. The secondary school was the centre of some press attention, firstly when its erstwhile head, Richard Wealthall, was singled out for praise and a visit from Prime Minister Tony Blair, and again subsequently when Mr Wealthall was found to have been guilty of bullying and nepotism. The Community School also attracted some unwanted press attention when it was placed into special measures in 2007 by Ofsted. However, the most recent report from 10 and 11 March 2011 described the school as a 'good' school with 6 'outstanding' features. This report can be viewed from the school's website: http://www.terrington-st-clement.norfolk.sch.uk
