Norlington School and 6th Form is a small 11-16 boy’s school with a mixed 6th form school. It is one of the highest performing schools in the country and has been recognised by the Minister for State Schools on three separate occasions for student achievement. The school has grown in size in 162 students per year group over the past 3 years. It remains oversubscribed.

The school is currently going through a programme of development with new classrooms, sports facilities and library to be completed during the summer term and available for full usage by September 2021.

Norlington was judged to be a 'good school' by Ofsted;

• 'The behaviour of pupils around the school is calm and orderly. The pupils enjoy being part of the school community'

• 'The progress of all groups of pupils in key stage 4, including the most able, is strong'

• 'Staff enjoy being part of the school with its distinctive family ethos'

The school has an excellent CPD programme and is committed to developing all staff, as we continue our journey to becoming an ‘Outstanding’ school. This includes three staff training afternoons, two department meetings and one twilight training session every 6 weeks. Academic Lessons finish for students at 1:30pm on a Friday.
