"We are very proud of our wider Norwich School community – a diverse and inclusive place for those who support the school. The two main constituents are our alumni whom we call Old Norvicensians (or ONs for short) and the independent charity, Friends of Norwich School (or FONS for short). 


All alumni who have attended Norwich School are automatically enrolled as a life-long ON. These include some very illustrious names and bright talents located all over the globe – over 5,000 in all. There are lots of ways for ONs to stay in touch and for us to support them beyond Cathedral Close (and vice versa).


The Friends of Norwich School is a very active organisation that promotes the school, providing fellowship and raising funds amongst parents, guardians and grandparents of pupils both past and present."

Development Director and FONS Trustee
