Norwich School sailing is based at the Norfolk Broads Yacht Club on Wroxham Broads and our club boasts a fleet of fireflies and feva racing dinghies. Our sailors enjoy weekly training with our specialist instructors, giving them the opportunity to prepare for local, regional and national regattas. Sailing is available as an option for pupils in Year 9 and above, and Years 7 and 8 have the option of an after school club from Easter to October half term. Those pupils wishing to enjoy a non-racing sailing programme can also do so with the 8th Norwich Sea Scouts. In addition, sailors can enjoy an extensive tour programme encompassing trips to the World Feva Championships in Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and throughout the UK.


There are a number of sailing fixtures in which we compete annually including the BSDRA West Regional Championships, BSDRA East Regional Championships, The Hoad Shield, BSDRA National Championships, Itchenor National Schools Regatta, RS Feva National Championships and the RS Feva World Championships. We regularly compete on a local and national level against schools including Royal Hospital School, Ryde School, Sevenoaks School and Millfield School.


Highlights of our 2023/24 season include pupils representing the Norfolk Broads Yacht Club and our Inters sailors securing victory in the South-Eastern Championships, winning the Hoad Shield.

By Eleanor Lewis • March 31, 2026
On Thursday 26 March, the U18 Boys played in the 1 st round of the national Tennis competition, The Glanville Cup, vs Wymondham College. Two very evenly matched teams saw some very close fought games with two of the singles games going to additional tie-break sets, leaving the score after the singles rounds tied on 4 points to each school. Our number one pair Harry Philpott and Charlie George Snelling played some exception tennis and managed to win their games 6-4, 6-4. Our second pair won their first set comfortably but then Wymondham College fought back and took their game to a tie-break set; Charlie Hutchinson and Veron Hung persevered as the light and temperature dropped and won the game to see Norwich School win 8-4 overall and through to the next round. Well done boys!
