Co-Curricular

"The co-curriculum is a strong, varied and vibrant part of a Norwich School education, encompassing all that happens outside of the classroom. This plays a crucial role in the holistic development of students, complementing academic learning by fostering essential life skills, personal growth and developing strong friendships. Through activities such as sports & outdoor education, performing & creative arts, clubs, societies, and community service, students develop teamwork, leadership, time management, and problem-solving abilities. These experiences also provide a platform for students to explore their passions, build confidence, and cultivate social and emotional intelligence. Moreover, the co-curriculum promotes a well-rounded education by encouraging creativity, resilience, compassion and adaptability, which are vital for success in both personal and future professional spheres. By engaging in diverse co-curricular activities, students gain a richer, more balanced educational experience that prepares them for the complexities of the world beyond school; please click on the various links to find out more."

Rowing Report from the Start of 2025

By Eleanor Lewis • February 13, 2025
The Senior Boys and Girls raced at Quintin Head, on the Tideway, with a solid result of 13th out of 33 crews from the boys 1st VIII. This was a good practice for both crews and coxes ahead of the Schools Head in March. With Hampton Head cancelled due to flooding, 55 rowers from j14 to J18 joined in a Club Time Trial on 1st February. With J14 Octos, J15 Girls and Boys 8s and 4s, Senior Girls 8+ and 2x and Senior Boys 2-, 4s and 8+ all competing with a downstream and upstream timed piece. It was great to make the most of our river, while other locations were flooded and to have all the Boat Club training together. Bedford Head saw 60 rowers racing in 18 different crew combinations, with wins for the J15 Boys 4+ and the J15 Girls 4+ and 8+.  The half term will be rounded off by Daniel White and Nicholas Conway competing at the February Long Distance GB U19 Trials in Boston. Good luck to both rowers.
