Old Norvicensians

On leaving Norwich School to move into the wider world, all pupils become a life-long Old Norvicensian (ON). This community is looked after by the school’s Development Team. The ON family is over 5,000 strong, ranging in age from 18 to the Pre-World War II generation. It really is a global community. 

We work hard to foster links and support networks as well as engendering pride in being alumni of Norwich School.

Our mission:

Our mission is a simple one: we believe your journey with the school lasts well beyond your short time in Cathedral Close as a pupil; as ONs, you remain part of the Norwich School family for life.

Lifelong support:

The shared purpose and fellowship we create through activities and events help ONs through life’s inevitable highs and lows. In turn, ONs help the school acting as careers Ambassadors and assisting the school through fundraising, advice and support. 

A busy year of events:

Engaging with the community takes place informally with school tours and invitations to school events, but also more formally though a varied programme of ON events. These include year-group reunions, sporting events, a black-tie Annual Dinner and a summer gathering for ON Day. Further afield, we host regional events in some of the University cities, as well as classy networking events in London.

Staying in touch:

For those unable to attend site in person or who are abroad, we produce a brilliant ON Magazine annually, as well as keeping everyone up-to-date via our webpages and regular emails.

Our latest recruits:

In July each year, we are delighted to receive into the ON Community over 160 new ONs, aged just 18. This follows an inspirational leavers’ programme of events for them in their final weeks at school, and some leavers’ mementoes to remind them of the friendships that will last them for life. Our hope is that a little part of Norwich School will always remain in their hearts, wherever life’s journey takes them.
