Wonderful music filling the foyer and corridors at lunch time today. #madebygirls Looking forward to tomorrow night’s concert.
So wonderful to have Eaton Grove filled with music today thanks to a lunchtime rehearsal from Year 9 student Evie 🎻 She’s one of the talented students taking to the stage tomorrow night for our fully booked Scholars’ Concert!

'The standard organist practise hours tend to be the middle of the night' @annalapwood is one of the world's most famous organists. She told @emmabarnett why she often practises at night & why she wants to encourage more women to play the instrument ⬇️

Wonderful to be able welcome new pupils and students this morning and show off our new communal spaces. Watch this space for pictures of the Sixth form centre refurbishments.
It has been a busy summer here at Norwich High! Our reception area has been refurbished and we have created two new communal spaces for students: an updated Wellbeing Lodge and a new Year 11 Common Room. We can't wait to welcome our students into these new spaces tomorrow!

All very exciting. I can't wait to show off the new spaces next week.
One week to go until school is back for the Autumn term 🍂 It has been a busy summer with renovation projects taking place including to the front of Eaton Grove, in the NHSA Uniform Shop and in the Sixth Form Centre - here's a sneaky preview 👀 See you all next week 😊
