Girls 1st XI Progress to the Regional Finals of School Sports Magazine Cup

By Eleanor Lewis • June 17, 2026
The Girls' 1st XI cricket team are enjoying a fantastic season, having won eight of their nine fixtures so far. The squad has produced several impressive performances, including a memorable double victory over a strong Ipswich School side and, more recently, an excellent cup win against The Leys. Despite balancing a demanding fixture schedule alongside the challenges of the examination period, the players have continued to deliver superb performances. The team now faces a significant challenge on Friday 19 June when they take on Cranleigh School on Lower Close in the quarter-final of the National Girls' U18 Cricket Paper 100 Ball Plate competition. Victory would secure a place at Finals Day, to be held at Stowe School on Tuesday 23 June. The squad has also kept its hopes alive in the School Sports Magazine Cup following a superb victory against The Leys last Friday. They now progress to the regional final, where they will face Berkhamsted School for a place in the next stage of the competition. With two major cup campaigns still very much alive and an impressive record already established, the Girls' 1st XI can look back on an outstanding season to date and look forward to an exciting conclusion to their campaign.

International ON, Lily Yu, Receives Her Gold DofE AwRD

By Eleanor Lewis • June 16, 2026
One of our international ONs (Lily Yu 2023-2025) recently received her Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award at Buckingham Palace. She completed the whole award during the two years she spent at Norwich School in our Sixth Form. As someone who has completed the rigorous Gold award, she was invited to attend a special celebration event with her mum in the gardens of Buckingham Palace, where her hard work and dedication required to complete the award was celebrated. To get so far, Lily had to take part in physical activities, volunteer in the local community and complete the tough expedition to the Lakes which helped her build her confidence and sense of teamwork. During the garden party, Lily saw the Duke of Edinburgh himself as well as the beautiful Palace gardens.  Lily should be justifiably proud of the perseverance, leadership and commitment she has shown during her time at Norwich School to complete the Award. Visiting the Palace with her mum, who flew over from Beijing, made her achievement even more significant.
