The English Schools Athletics Track and Field Cup, held at UEA, marked the beginning of the 2024 athletics season, we faced off against some strong competition from The Perse and Thorpe St Andrews School.

The Junior and Inters teams, all placed in the top 5 in the meet. Then came the Norfolk County Championships, a recent addition to the athletics fixture schedule. Congratulations to every selected athlete who competed for the school. Norwich School was the only school in the region to enter athletes who were not affiliated with a club, which demonstrates the program's increasing strength.
