Over the past two years, Norwich School has worked closely with the Norfolk Cambridge Society and their provision of lectures to help foster the intellectual life of the county. The 7th Norfolk Cambridge Society Lecture series was given by Professor Richard Harvey on the subject of Artificial Intelligence - How Much is it Likely to Impact Your Life?
The 2020 House Music Festival took place this week and saw a fantastic standard of performance across both days of the festival, with pupils across the year groups taking part.
The Norwich School community celebrated the achievements of our Senior School pupils in our annual Prizegiving service, which looked quite different this year.
We have most been impressed by the optimism and perseverance of this GCSE cohort in the face of twin adversities: the coronavirus pandemic and the cancellation of the summer 2020 examination series.
There have been some fantastic individual performances over the GCSE courses. 17 pupils have got 10 or more 8s/9s; and a further 17 have got 9 or more 8s/9s.
As pupils collect their A levels today, there have been some terrific performances over the two-year course period and many U6 leavers now have exciting pathways ahead of them.
The restrictive effects of the coronavirus pandemic and cancellation of the summer 2020 examination series already meant that this year’s A Level cohort have had to put up with unprecedented disruption at a formative time of their lives. We have been so impressed by their resilience and dignity in the face of considerable adversity, not least the interruption to the rite of passage which should come with terminal examinations and end-of-school celebrations.
Norwich School has just submitted to Norwich City Council its revised proposal for development of its Bishop’s Palace Lawn site in the Cathedral Close. The proposal responds to a pressing need for new dining and teaching facilities, together with landscaped outdoor spaces and improved access. It aims to deliver a high quality and visually appealing building that responds well to the important heritage of its surroundings.
On Saturday 4th July, Old Norvicensians gathered virtually to watch 'Global ON Day'. ONs were invited to grab a glass of fizz, take a seat, relax and watch the proceedings.
Norwich School Geography pupils finished the term by looking at Esri Story Maps which allow pupils to combine GIS maps with text and images to create digital content.
A group of our community-minded and enthusiastic Upper Sixth pupils have been helping senior members of our ON community during the pandemic through a volunteer contact scheme. They have offered a friendly phone call to ONs, centred around Norwich School life and shared experiences of school over the decades.
