Strong friendships are central to children's happiness and success at school. Time is given to helping pupils learn how to include others, communicate honestly, resolve disagreements and recognise the qualities of a good friend. Shared experiences in lessons, clubs, trips and performances allow relationships to deepen across different contexts. Supported by attentive pastoral care, pupils develop the confidence to be themselves and the social understanding needed to build friendships that can continue through Norwich School and, for many, far beyond it.
