It could be the Methodist Church as there was one in the village, but sounds like a typical village school photograph.

The School Records will be at Norwich RO and there is a Community web site for the village.

Barroway Drove is a village just outside of the town of Downham Market

So pleased you have found the location of your photograph.

It is so typical of a village school to have a photograph of all the pupils, ranging in age from approximately 3 years of age to about 13 years.  Depending on the time of year,  children would be off school working on the land stone-picking, crow scaring, gleaning etc. 

I have a photograph of the village school where I live, fortunately the slate being held by the child middle/front of the picture has the village name and the year.

Good luck with the searches,

Dear SM
The picture I have has other printing on the slate,but it
will take better eyes than mine to decipher the smaller print.
Sure wish I could put it on  the Web, for all to see but,alas,don't have the capability.
The Barroway Drove Web Page has promised to do so in the future.
Thanks for steering me  to their Web Page.
