When our doors opened for the first time on February 22nd 1875 it is difficult to imagine just how radical it was. Prior to the school opening there was a lack of girls education in the city and society in general. A group of Norwich citizens took it upon themselves to approach the Girls’ Public Day School Trust, asking them to found a school in Norwich. That is just what they did and Norwich was the first school the Trust established outside London.
In the 150 years since then Norwich High School for Girls has remained true to its founding principles – we offer girls excellence in education, experience and opportunity – and we have always been keen to embrace fun and allow girls to flourish.
