Welcome to Norwich Senior School

Welcome to the Senior School – the base for our pupils between the ages of eleven and eighteen (Years 7-13). 

Entering the Senior School, boys and girls benefit from specialised facilities and a broad curriculum. We enrich pupils’ learning through foreign exchanges, overseas trips and cultural visits.


Extra-curricular activities also play a significant role with opportunities ranging from Sports through to Clubs and Societies, Music and the Creative Arts.

Together, staff and pupils create a supportive atmosphere and pupils receive individual support through the school’s pastoral system. Read more here.

Pupils Say 'Bienvenue!' to French Visitors

By Eleanor Lewis • March 27, 2026
On Thursday 27 March, we were delighted to welcome 58 pupils and their 5 teachers from Collège Sainte‑Marie in Meaux, France. After spending a week exploring Norfolk, the group arrived at Norwich School, where our pupils were eager to meet them and proudly show them around. Our penpal exchange with Collège Sainte‑Marie has been running for a couple of years now, with Lower 4 pupils regularly writing and receiving letters in French. This visit was particularly special: the French group were Year 8 pupils, and many had the chance to meet their penpals from last year face‑to‑face for the very first time — a real highlight for everyone involved. The afternoon began with the NS U6 French group leading guided tours around the school, giving our visitors a warm and friendly introduction to life at Norwich School. This was followed by a lively treasure hunt in mixed teams of French pupils and NS Upper 4 pupils, all competing for an Easter prize. With clues written in both French and English, teamwork was essential — and it was wonderful to see pupils switching languages, helping one another, and having fun along the way. It was a joyful afternoon filled with laughter, curiosity, and excellent company. We very much hope to welcome pupils from Meaux again in the years to come — and perhaps one day, we’ll have the chance to visit them on their home turf too.

Keeping Track of Cross Country at the End of Lent 2026

By Eleanor Lewis • March 27, 2026
After half term, the Cross-Country team enjoyed a drizzly afternoon of racing in Ipswich on Saturday 28 February. The course was extremely muddy making for challenging, slippery conditions. But the Junior Boys managed to stay upright and perform well with Jonas Tam finishing 3rd, Jonty Croskell in 4th and Oscar Parker-Wright in 11th. All season the Senior Girls have dominated the front end of the field and again we had 3 of the top six finishers. On this occasion, it was Amelie Ivie who timed her finish best to take 3rd place ahead of Bea Green in 4th and Olivia Allen in 6th. The team was completed by Simran Chawla coming in 12th. With 8 Senior Boys running, the team prize seems sewn up this year and we had 3 of the top 5 finishers. Over the 7.6km route, Ethan Buskell was fastest on the day, coming 2nd, just ahead of Arthur Dannatt in 3rd and Leon Liu 5th. Leo Pitt was 8th, Jeremy Lo 9th and Tom Copley, George Yiasimi and Edward Lott completed the dominating team performance all in the top 14. Next, on Saturday 7 March we saw the final race in the East Anglian League against runners from Gresham’s, Ipswich and RHS. The team travelled to RHS and the conditions were reasonably dry and still on a flat, fast course. Our only competing Junior, Jonas Tam, improved upon last week’s third place to come 2nd this week, while in the Intermediate Boys, Kit Rudling came 4th. In the Senior Boys we had excellent strength in depth, as we have had all season, with eight runners competing. First to finish was Ethan Buskell who came 2nd overall. Jeremy Lo came through the field strongly to take 5th place, capping off another consistent season. Leon Liu, Kort Tsui and Leo Pitt were next over the line, followed shortly by Tom Copley, Edward Lott and George Yiasimi. The Senior Boys, having showed such consistent quality and excellent camaraderie throughout the season, deservedly took home the East Anglian League Team Trophy.  Finally, 5 of our athletes represented the school at the English Schools National Finals in Liverpool — a fantastic experience with some excellent performances across the board. Well done to everyone who has represented the Cross Country team this season.
