About Wellbeing

"At Norwich School the wellbeing of our pupils is at the heart of our community. We understand that young people flourish when they feel that they belong, and are proactively supported, valued, and understood. Our commitment to their mental, emotional, and physical health is reflected in every aspect of school life, from our pastoral care to our tailored wellbeing initiatives. By creating an environment where students feel safe and connected, we help them grow, building the resilience and self-awareness needed to meet the challenges of today and to lead fulfilling lives in the future. Our holistic approach ensures that every pupil can grow into a confident, balanced, and compassionate individual.


Our pupils are cared for through a unique structure, the House system supports their full journey through the school and a year based 'Section' structure allows for responsive interventions at a cohort level. This framework is then further complemented by a dedicated Health & Wellbeing Team, including two counsellors and an exclusively allocated on-site space, and our Pupil Personal Development curriculum and peer mentoring programmes."

Marvellous Madrid Trip for Upper 4 Pupils

April 4, 2025
Upper 4 pupil, Riya Sharma, tells us all about the exciting four-day residential trip to the Spanish capital. "In my opinion, the Madrid trip was absolutely fantastic! We explored key parts of Madrid and we had so much fun while doing it. Going to Real Madrid's stadium was mesmerising, and we got to see different parts of what made up such a unique place. Doing a tour of important aspects of Madrid was intriguing, and we learnt so much with a wonderful tour guide. Retiro park was outstandingly vast, and we had so much fun doing activities as well as the churros tasting. Last but certainly not least, was Warner Bros theme park. It was packed with many rides, each unique in their own way. It may have been petrifying to go on the rides, but it was certainly worth it. Overall, the trip was amazing, and I am very excited for next years group to go and enjoy a lovely time." Riya Sharma (U4)

Keeping Track of Cross Country at the End of the Lent Term

By Eleanor Lewis • March 31, 2025
Saturday 8 March saw the final race in the East Anglian League against runners from Gresham’s, Ipswich and RHS. The team travelled to RHS to compete in sunny but windy conditions. In the Intermediate Boys, Kort Tsui ran a controlled race to finish 5th and Edward Lott, who has competed in every race this season came home in 7th. For the Senior Boys, our first finisher was Thomas Chester, coming 5th, closely followed by Jeremy Lo in 8th. The team was completed by Arthur Chan, Jacob Stevenson, Ollie Price and Thomas Hsia. Saturday also saw the English Schools’ Cross-Country Championships held this year in Nottingham. Even qualifying for this prestigious event is an incredible achievement. Minnie Andrews raced in the Under 17s and finished in the top 150 runners nationally: the second runner home from the Norfolk team of 8. Samuel Trickey competed in the Under 13s and ran a storming race, finishing 204 th and 3 rd within the Norfolk team. Congratulations to Minnie and Sam.  Well done to everyone who has represented the Cross Country team this season.

Netball News from a Successful Season

By Eleanor Lewis • March 31, 2025
It has been an action-packed term for the Netball Club, with a staggering 285 fixtures across the 2024/2025 season, which is testament to the commitment and enthusiasm of our pupils and staff. Lent term kicked off with the U14/U16/U19 National Schools squads preparing thoroughly for the Regional Finals on 1 st February. The U19 team battled to finish as 3 rd best team in the East Region and narrowly missed out on National Finals qualification. The U14 and U16 squads performed promisingly, being one result away from a semi-final place. This is an exciting performance from our Norwich School youngsters, particularly from the U16s, who were all U15 and eligible for next years competition. Post Regionals, there was no let up with weekly and block fixtures coming thick and fast. A particular high-light of the term was notching up victories across all of our A teams against a very competitive Perse School. The terms ends with a win ratio of 88% across our A team squads, and 67% across all teams. We have enjoyed hosting an U13 Development Tournament, U11 Tournament and U9 Netball Festival with nearly 50 teams taking part. The term ended with our usual Junior and Inters Netball Celebration events to recognise the impressive efforts of our amazing pupils this term.  Special mentions must got to the 1 st VII for having an unbeaten season across their regular fixtures, and the U13A team who have a perfect playing record of 24/24 and the U13 County Cup title
