At Norwich High School, we believe passionately in putting girls first. We give girls the very best opportunities to find their strengths, explore the whole breadth of subject options, and tailor all that we do around their needs.
In and outside our classrooms, there are no barriers of expectations and modifications of behaviour that can arise in a co-educational environment. Our girls are just as keen to pursue Computing, Engineering, and the Sciences, as they are the Arts and Humanities. Innovation is built into our DNA, as we were the very first girls’ school to be founded outside London, and we continue to seek innovation in all that we do.
We aim to develop girls who are confident in their own voice. Fostering intellectual curiosity is at the heart of our excellent academic education, but we believe that education is about more than exam results. Our ‘Beyond’ extra-curricular offer is broad and strong and gives girls essential skills as well as greater self-knowledge. An extensive selection of Music, Drama and Sport opportunities are available to all girls, as well as our outstanding Enrichment programme offering diverse and challenging content including rewarding community projects. There is extensive onsite provision to ensure that all girls succeed in these subjects including a dedicated Music Building and a plethora of onsite sporting facilities including a 25m indoor swimming pool and multiple tennis courts.
Step into Norwich High School and you will be blown away by the quality of the creativity you see, from the art and productions in the Prep School to our stunning A Level exhibitions and performances. Sport thrives here and girls excel in a whole range of disciplines, from hockey, netball, cricket and swimming to rowing.
What really makes Norwich High School special is the exceptionally strong sense of community which lasts long after girls have left the school, and the warm relaxed relationships between girls themselves, and between staff and girls. Norwich High School is a part of the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST), the UK’s largest group of independent girls’ schools and a national leader in girls’ education. This community encompasses not just our own school but also our 25 sister schools and academies across England and Wales. A community where girls can join nearly 100,000 women in the GDST Alumnae Network, who provide a range of resources and social and professional contacts to help every girl as she makes her way in the world. Girls can compete and collaborate with their peers in other GDST schools, taking part in Trust-wide events, rallies, performances and activities ranging from art, sport, music and creative writing through to foreign languages, debating, enterprise and digital technology.
Norwich High School for Girls is the product of a pioneering city. Inspired by its history of independent, open-minded enterprise, for over 150 years Norwich High School has been preparing girls for lives of contribution and achievement. Our ambition today is to continue that mission with the same spirit. A spirit that is as relevant in the 21st century as it was in 1875.
