Sport at Norwich School
"At Norwich School, we passionately believe in the power of sport to shape and enrich lives. At the heart of our approach is a clear and simple mission: To help our pupils develop a lifelong love for sport and physical activity.
Sport and Outdoor Education at Norwich School is about more than competition; it is about developing confidence, teamwork, resilience, health, and above all, enjoyment. We strive to provide an inclusive, challenging, and enriching programme that caters to every pupil—regardless of experience or ability.
Our philosophy is built around three key principles:
Participation
Every pupil is encouraged to get involved, with opportunities ranging from rugby, hockey and netball to rowing, dance, kayaking, sailing, general fitness and more, all catered for in first-class facilities. Whether through lessons, clubs, inter-house events or fixtures, there’s a place for everyone—regardless of experience, sport and physical activity is for all.
Preparation
We aim to equip pupils with the skills and habits for lifelong health and wellbeing. Our curriculum builds movement skills, fitness, teamwork and confidence. Support includes strength and conditioning, injury rehab, and personalised guidance.
Performance
Our competitive programme enables pupils to represent the school locally and nationally. Talented athletes benefit from our Sports Enrichment and Supported Sports Programmes, offering specialist coaching and academic balance."
