The international university fair offered our pupils some valuable exposure to a wide range of global education opportunities. We were fortunate enough to work with our long-standing partners – the University Guys – to welcome 5 global universities to Norwich School during period 5 and lunch on Monday April 20. The lunchtime fair allowed our pupils to interact directly with representatives from leading global universities namely, the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore offering medicine, business and other courses in English from Italy, Rollins (Florida) – one of the best small liberal arts colleges in the US, SCAD from Savannah in Georgia (the US’s largest art school) and TETR College of Business with its unique programme spanning 10 countries. From talking one to one with the different university reps, our students got accurate and up-to-date information about courses, how to apply and they could also learn more about and campus life overseas. It was also a great opportunity for Mrs Warren, the school’s Head of UCAS and Mr Sims to find out more about opportunities overseas and to build their own connections. We believe as a school that it is important to make the idea of studying abroad feel more accessible and less intimidating as well as wanting to broaden our pupils’ perspectives and ambitions. These fairs can also encourage early planning as well as motivating students to think seriously about their future pathways and the qualifications they may need. At Norwich School, we know the importance of inspiring confidence, supporting informed decision-making and opening doors to new opportunities which pupils might not have otherwise considered. If pupils who weren’t able to attend would like some more information about any of these universities, then please contact Mr Croston.

170 Norwich School applications have been sent to UCAS (universities and colleges admissions service) this academic year. As is the norm at this point in the year, many universities (including medical schools and leading London universities such as LSE and Imperial) are still making decisions on which applicants to offer places to. We will share more successes later this term and at the start of next term. We congratulate all pupils on their university offers and offers for apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships received so far. We hope these pupils will understand that the size of the Upper 6 year group means we cannot celebrate publicly all offers. The offers listed here have been chosen to include those for the most competitive courses and to give the school community a taste of the huge variety of courses and institutions that Norwich School pupils apply for. The school’s Apply Plus Programme is run by Mr Pearce. It supports pupils applying to academic courses that require admissions tests and/or interviews. Apply Plus offers so far this cycle: Arthur Dannatt – Mathematics at the University of Warwick Ben Griffiths – Classics at the University of Oxford Melissa Hawkings – Music at the University of Cambridge Celeste Horsman – English Language and Literature at the University of Oxford Thomas Hsia – Computer Science at University of Warwick Thomas Irvine – Medicine at the University of Cambridge Georgia Lloyd – Psychological and Behavioural Sciences at the University of Cambridge Adit Raje – Physics at the University of Oxford Charlotte Scott – Modern and Medieval Languages at the University of Cambridge Emile Verschoor – Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge Sydney Wylie (ON) – English at the University of Cambridge STEM: Ethan Buskell – Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath Josie Dixon – Marine Biology at the University of St. Andrews Jeremy Lo – Computer Science at the University of Manchester Humanities: Daisy Massey – Journalism Studies at the University of Sheffield Edith Martin – Liberal Arts at King’s College London (KCL) Alice Strike – History at University of Durham Social Sciences: Rosie Pank – Politics and Sociology with Study Abroad at the University of Exeter Jack Paterson – Business and Management at the University of Durham Sophie Scott – Law at the University of York Languages: Isla Bowles – French and Spanish at University College London (UCL) Tristan Mackay – Philosophy and Modern Languages at the University of Bristol Lily Mei McGruddy-Lo – Japanese at the University of Leeds Creatives: Hollie Blackham – Interior Design at the University for the Creative Arts (Canterbury) Rachel Dean – Drama at the University of Warwick Hettie Holden – Architecture at the University of Sheffield Sport: Nick Conway – full rowing scholarship to University of Washington, USA William Faircloth – full soccer (football) scholarship to University of Wisconsin, USA Niamh Rushton – Sport Management and Coaching with professional placement at University of Bath
