About Co-Curriculum

"The co-curriculum is a strong, varied and vibrant part of a Norwich School education, encompassing all that happens outside of the classroom. This plays a crucial role in the holistic development of students, complementing academic learning by fostering essential life skills, personal growth and developing strong friendships. Through activities such as sports & outdoor education, performing & creative arts, clubs, societies, and community service, students develop teamwork, leadership, time management, and problem-solving abilities. These experiences also provide a platform for students to explore their passions, build confidence, and cultivate social and emotional intelligence. Moreover, the co-curriculum promotes a well-rounded education by encouraging creativity, resilience, compassion and adaptability, which are vital for success in both personal and future professional spheres. By engaging in diverse co-curricular activities, students gain a richer, more balanced educational experience that prepares them for the complexities of the world beyond school; please click on the various links to find out more."

Upper 4 Pupils Enjoy an Insightful Trip to Neasden Hindu Temple in London

By Eleanor Lewis • March 2, 2026
Upper 4 pupils enjoyed an insightful and interesting trip to Neasden Hindu Temple in London on Thursday 26 February. Pupils enjoyed the temple exhibition and were able to observe the Arti ceremony, learning more about Hindu ism to support their studies in class. They enjoyed a talk given by a member of the Temple about how the extraordinary building was built and perhaps the highlight of the trip was the vegetarian curry served at the restaurant afterwards. Mrs Cawkwell would like to thank pupils for behaving respectfully and for staff for their enthusiastic support. 

Discover Your Ability Day is Back for 2026!

By Eleanor Lewis • February 26, 2026
On Wednesday 26 February Able2B and Minnie Andrews (Lower 6) led an assembly in the lead up to Discover Your Ability Day 2026! This year, Norwich School are continuing our work with Able2B by hosting the annual Discover Your Ability Day on the penultimate Sunday of the Trinity Term. The event is rather like a duathlon, with a running and cycling event around the Lower Close (including along the rivers edge), with some participants taking part in wheelchairs and adpated bicycles to make it as inclusive as possible. We have plans to make it bigger and better this year by doubling up with another of our signature events; the Intergenerational Sports Day with Friend in Deed (involving young and old participants alike). This way we can have even more of the Norwich School and wider community involved on the Lower School field than ever before! To prepare for Discover Your Ability Day, pupils who sign up will take part in just 2 or 3 training sessions at the Able2B gym in ahead of June. As this is a family event, family members and friends can also volunteer as marshals and route guides, or just come along to watch the event. We also have Able2B ambassadors linked to each house again like last year - where we will run a competition to get the most members from each house to sign up and take part. (the ambassadors will line up at this point if all able to be there!) Discover your Ability Day is a fantastic opportunity to help out in the local community, as well as gaining valuable skills. This is a highly inspirational charity event, so pupils are encouraged to take part in any way they can. Additionally, taking part in the training sessions and final event can count towards volunteering hours for anyone doing the Duke of Edinburgh award. See below for the talk from Able2B

A Level Physicists Explore Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station

By Eleanor Lewis • February 25, 2026
On Wednesday 25 February 2026 a group of 32 A Level Physics pupils visited Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station.  After a safety briefing by site staff and a presentation on the physics and engineering involved in the generation of electricity from nuclear fission, pupils were given a comprehensive tour of the site. This included an outside overview of the reactor dome, step-up transformers, sea water intake and National Grid electricity distribution system, and an inside tour of the turbine hall and engineering workshops. It was a fantastic day which provided pupils and staff with a great insight into the practical application of physics and engineering theory to the nuclear industry. Pupil behaviour was impeccable, and they were a credit to the school.
