Our scholarships into Year 12 recognise talent across academic excellence, art, performing arts, product design and sport.

Bee’s story
Year 12 student and member of the Head Girl Team Bee Court joined Norwich High on a full bursary. She said: “I was overjoyed to receive a bursary to attend Norwich High. Being in a girls-only school is the best. There’s no one you have to impress and you can just be completely outwardly yourself. I love chemistry and go home everyday and tell my mum, what sounds like gobbledygook to her, about the things I have been learning. It’s my hardest A Level and I have to put effort into every lesson but it’s addictive. I love the subject and my teachers. They invest so much time and effort in us that it feels like we’re more than just a job to them.
“I really enjoy rowing and public speaking and have put myself forward for several opportunities. I’ve not only improved my confidence but also developed a love for it that I would never have expected.”
Bee’s mum, Jess Court added: “Being awarded a bursary for Bee to attend Norwich High honestly felt life changing. We all cried! It was exceptional. When we read the letter offering my daughter a place with a bursary I knew in that moment her opportunities for academia, extra-curricular and self development had grown exponentially. Obviously the life she cultivates will be one of her own making but I knew she was going to get closer to fulfilling her potential with a Norwich High education. Delighted is an understatement.
“Norwich High gives students levels of ambition, aspirations, confidence, guidance and experiences that I could never give them myself. What feeds into their mind in these crucial years they will carry with them in their spirit forever. School is such a significant part of that for many children but even more so for bursary students.”
