SCHOOL HOUSE
Unlike the other six houses, School House is not named after a distinguished O.N. or Head Master. It owes its name to its origins as a boarding house. In nineteenth century schools, it was normal practice to call the boarding house of which the headmaster was also the housemaster ‘the school house’. When headmasters ceased to function as housemasters, the name nevertheless persisted. The last Head Master of Norwich School to function as House Master of School House was Andrew Stephenson in the 1950s. The House then continued as the boarding house, based in the building now called ‘School House’ and in the Palace, until 1989, when boarding was phased out. School House then became the seventh day house.
School House's present philosophy is one of inclusiveness. All members of the House are encouraged to involve themselves fully in school life and to make the most of the host of opportunities that arise here at Norwich School. We have a much revered reputation for success in the 'House Shout' and sport has also proved an area in which we have excelled in recent years.
Iain Grisewood, Housemaster
