“I am proud to have been a member of Norwich High School, to attend events, and hear about the successes, interests and achievements of past and present pupils.”

“Thank you for organising the events – it was a pleasure to talk to other old girls from so many years as everyone naturally has so much in common!”

— Norwich High School for Girls Alumna

“I have not kept in touch with Norwich High for years but having been to the event I now feel more connected and interested in what is happening at the school.”

— Norwich High School for Girls Alumna

“It was lovely to have a tour of the school and to see how much it has changed since I was there. What amazing facilities you have now for the girls, but the same warm atmosphere is there, which is great.”

Attend an event or a reunion

We are always delighted to welcome past students back into school; whether you would simply like a tour of the school grounds or to pop in for a cup of tea.

Each year, we hold regular reunions for our alumnae, normally taking place in June and November. We can support small and large events including catering, school tours and table plans. If you are planning a reunion and would like our help getting your year group together or providing the ideal venue then email Elli Mitchelson our Development Officer at e.mitchelson@nor.gdst.net.

Our alumnae are always very welcome to return to any school events, from our Carol Service to Fashion Show and our Open Mornings. Take a look at our events page to see what is happening now.
