Netball

Netball is the main sport for girls in the Lent term, with our cup national competition pupils also having access to the sport in the Michaelmas term. Our Games lessons are supplemented by a comprehensive extra-curricular programme which runs throughout the school year. 

 

We compete in the National Schools Netball Competition at U14, U16 and U19 age groups and in the Independent Schools Netball Cup and Sisters N Sport Cup.

Through our experienced coaching staff we maintain excellent links with local clubs, Norfolk County Netball, Saracens Mavericks and the University of East Anglia. 

 

Recent Successes:

  • National Schools Finalists U19 (2015/2016, 2016/2017, 2018/2019)
  • Regional finalists - one of only two schools to qualify in all age groups for the Regional Finals in 2023/2024

 

  • County Success - U12, U14 and U16 County Champions and U19 County Runners-Up in the 2023/2024 season
