Norwich School sets much store in helping leavers onto their preferred onward routes, whatever they may be. We are therefore delighted that results achieved by the Class of 2022 have opened up such an exciting range of options. Some candidates are still making decisions but, at the time of writing, the overall picture for those in the UCAS process is as follows:
86%: 1st choice
11%: 2nd choice
3%: place secured through clearing
Please read below for some of the individual stories behind these statistics.
Navaneeth (Nav) Hari Krishnan
Nav achieved 4 A* in Further Maths, Maths, Physics and Chemistry and will now go on to study Natural Sciences at Cambridge University. He is hoping to then go on to do a Masters and PhD, before going into research. Nav says he loved his lessons and has lost track of how many Olympiads he did! He says he will miss the atmosphere and friendly environment that is Norwich School, especially The Close and all the buildings.
Abi Hill
Abi achieved 2 A* and an A in her chosen subjects, Biology, Chemistry and Maths and is going on to study Veterinary Medicine at her first choice university – Edinburgh. She says “Norwich School gave me so many opportunities and I will miss it so much, especially the amazing people.” In her Upper Sixth year Abi was the Red Gown responsible for partnerships, leading her committee in raising thousands for local and national charities by organising events including home clothes days, the Lent Term dinner and the Norwich School Fashion Show.
Lila Hallam
With 3 A* in Chemistry, Biology and Geography, Lila achieved more than she needed to secure her place at Liverpool to study Medicine. Lila has been at Norwich School since L4 and says “I am so proud to be part of Norwich School”. It’s fair to say she embraced all the opportunities open to her whilst she was here, playing on the first team in hockey and netball, representing school in tennis and singing in the choir, and supporting the Charities Committee.
Alice Shaw
Alice achieved the 3 B's she needed to get into Nottingham to study Adult Nursing, from which she wants to go on to be a trauma nurse in the army. Whilst she was at Norwich School, Alice was Head of Valpy and one of her fondest memories is winning House Shout singing Happy Together. She was also the captain of first team netball and says one of the best days was their final netball game against the UEA when they beat the UEA first team!
Amelia Cropley
Amelia says her A* in Sport, A in Psychology and B in Biology have secured her a place at Loughborough to study Psychology with Criminology. Her ambition is to branch into forensic science. Amelia was an active member of school during her time with Norwich School – not only was she the Grey Gown prefect for sports and societies, she was the vice-captain of the netball team and she sang in the chapel choir.
Toby Finch
Toby achieved 4 A* in Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Further Maths and will now go on to Imperial to study Chemistry. He is particularly looking forward to his year in industry and thinks he will go into the workplace as soon as he has completed his degree. “A highlight of my time at Norwich School, apart from today, was coxing in the Henley Regatta.” As well as rowing, Toby also played the guitar and says he will miss school, although he is looking forward to the new challenges ahead.
Anna Austin
Anna achieved 3 A* and an A and is heading to UCL to study Law with Spanish, from where she would like to go on to specialist in corporate or commercial law. “I loved being a pupil at Norwich School – there was always so much lively debate in classroom and no two lessons were ever the same!” Alongside her studies, Anna was the president of the Gartley Society and was part of the cheerleading squad for 4 years, winning competitions in London and competing in Paris. She says she will miss Budge the cathedral cat and says "Thank you for everything" to Norwich School.

Millie Clark
This cohort’s Head of School, Millie, received 2 A* and an A and has secured a place at Queen’s College, Cambridge to read Music. It is fair to say that as well as the many and varied duties she completed as Head of School, as a skilled flautist, Millie could often be seen performing at events. “It hasn’t sunk in yet to be honest. I am so happy with my results and beyond excited to be going to Cambridge, but I am gutted to be leaving as well – it has been an amazing two years and coming here for Sixth Form was the best decision ever.” As well as her friends, teachers and the buildings, Millie says she will particularly miss Katsu curry in the Refectory!
Flynn Robbins
Flynn achieved two A’s and an A*, which has secured him a place in his first choice, Sheffield University, to study for a Masters in Aerospace Engineering, with a year’s overseas study in the States. Flynn said “My dream job would be Head Aerodynamicist for a Formula One Team as I’ve always wanted to work for F1. I am so glad I went to Norwich School to help me reach this next stage in my studies.”
Mia Bartram
Mia achieved 3 A* in 3D Design specialising in architecture, 2D design specialising in photography and 3D Design in Art, Craft and Design, and will go on to study Sustainable Product Design at Falmouth. Mia says she loved her time at Norwich School and could most often be found in the workshop in Carter Building, which she claims is “the best art department ever". She says her proudest moment at School was as House Captain of Coke, leading her House to victory at sports day for first time in 57 years. After completing her studies, Mia did half a term of teaching L5 art pupils and enjoyed it so much, she is now considering a career in teaching after her studies.
