Extra-curricular activity
The Senior School offers a full and varied extra-curricular programme of activities and events.
Music and Drama
The energetic and highly successful Music department is very popular with pupils, as it welcomes and encourages boys and girls of all levels of ability to explore their musical creativity. Pupils are offered tuition in an impressive range of instruments, with over twenty-five specialist teachers contributing their expertise under the Director of Music’s guidance. The various orchestras, ensembles, bands, choirs and groups provide many opportunities for participation. Performances at all levels and age groups regularly take place within the School, the Cathedral and in the wider community.
Our drama facilities, which include the purpose-designed Blake Studio, create an environment where boys and girls can push personal boundaries, channel creative energy and learn many aspects of theatre craft, from acting to production and management. Our pupils also have the privilege of performing at some of the finest venues in Norwich. The Senior Play traditionally is performed at the Maddermarket Theatre; other productions take place in the Puppet Theatre, the Lower School and the Cathedral.
The School produces a major musical every two years at the Norwich Playhouse.
Clubs and Societies
Recent activities include: Sports Clubs, Orienteering, 8th Norwich Sea Scouts, Warhammer, Juggling, Chess, Junior Strings, Christian Forum, Philosophy Society, Junior and Senior Debating, Magic, Writers’ Club, Maths and Science Clubs, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and Amnesty International. Details of regular meeting times are published in the termly calendar.
Overseas Visits
Overseas visits broaden the experience of many pupils. The Modern Languages Department runs exchanges to France, Germany and Liechtenstein. Recent cultural, sporting or adventurous trips have gone to Austria, Canada, China, Ecuador, Egypt, Greece, Holland, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Israel, Russia South Africa and Turkey.
