Welcome to Norwich Senior School
Welcome to the Senior School – the base for our pupils between the ages of eleven and eighteen (Years 7-13).
Entering the Senior School, boys and girls benefit from specialised facilities and a broad curriculum. We enrich pupils’ learning through foreign exchanges, overseas trips and cultural visits.
Extra-curricular activities also play a significant role with opportunities ranging from Sports through to Clubs and Societies, Music and the Creative Arts.

Latest news from the Senior School
27 February 2026 saw the return of the gloriously chaotic and hilarious Friends of Norwich School Annual Music Quiz held in the school’s refectory. The school’s answer to The Carpenters (Jonathan Peason and Anna Stephenson) were stalwart compères for the night, delivering ten rounds of music-based questions to suit all musical tastes and abilities. Even the Head chipped in with a round. Extra pizzazz was added by a scratch Sixth Form band made up of Lev, Louis, Maleeya, Sam, Sahib, Rosie and led by the inimitable Daisy Sexton. They played a mix of live music and sang intros for contestants to guess. A fish and chip supper provided by our fabulous in-house Catering Team provided a very welcome interlude. Mr Griffiths led a team of strict markers beavering away furiously between rounds, which resulted in one team of Musical Maestros being duly crowned at the end of proceedings. Funds raised of around £2,200 went towards FONS charitable priorities to support the school - a welcome reflection on the hard work involved in delivering such a joyously entertaining event. Huge thanks to all volunteer organisers and those who helped on the night, and to our ebullient and enthusiastic contestants for making it an evening that will stay long in the memory.
This term has been another successful one for the Dance department. Both the Junior and Senior Dance Companies have qualified for the National finals after competing at The Great Big Dance Off regionals in March. The Junior Dance Company were crowned KS3 Regional Champions, while the KS4/5 team were runners-up with an impressive 191 out of 200 points - just one point shy of winning. Both companies will compete at the National finals in Cheltenham in June. Following this, the Dance department showcased incredible talent at the Senior Dance Festival held at Epic, with over 140 pupils across both the lower and senior schools. This collaborative event highlighted the progression of our students from the start to the end of their school journey. The evening celebrated their dedication, passion, and outstanding commitment to dance, which has made the studio a vibrant hub of activity and inspiration.
