Celebrating 150Yearsof Excellence: Supportingthe FutureofGirls' Education
When Norwich High School for Girls opened its doors in 1875, it was a revolutionary moment. At a time when educational opportunities for girls were scarce, a group of forwardthinking Norwich citizens approached the Girls' Public Day School Trust with a bold request to establish a girls’ school in Norwich The Trust answered the call, making Norwich the first school they founded outside of London.
In the 150 years since, Norwich High School for Girls has stayed true to its founding vision: to provide girls with exceptional education, opportunities and experiences in an environment that fosters both academic achievement and personal growth.
As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, it’s more important than ever to ensure that talented young girls are not held back by financial barriers Our school thrives on the diversity of its community, and we are committed to expanding access to all deserving students.
Each year, we receive over 50 applications for bursary places With your support, we can grow our bursary fund and reach even more girls from diverse backgrounds, helping them unlock their potential and succeed.
Bee’sStory
Bee Court, a Year 13 student and member of the Head Girl Team, joined Norwich High School for Girls on a full bursary.
"I was overjoyed to receive a bursary to attend Norwich High. Being in an all-girls school is amazing you don't feel the pressure to impress anyone, and you can just be completely yourself I love chemistry, and every day I go home and excitedly tell my mum, though it sounds like gobbledygook to her! The teachers here are incredible; they put so much time and effort into us. It feels like we are more than just a job to them "
Bee’s mum, Jess, adds:
"Receiving the bursary for Bee to attend Norwich High was life-changing we all cried! It was such an exceptional moment When we read the letter offering her a place with a bursary, I knew her opportunities for academic, extracurricular, and personal growth had expanded exponentially. Of course, Bee's future will be shaped by her own choices, but I knew a Norwich High education would bring her closer to reaching her full potential. 'Delighted' is an understatement "
