Norwich High School for Girls celebrated the achievements of Senior School and Sixth Form students at their annual Prizegiving service which took place at St Andrew\u2019s Hall, Norwich on Friday 16th September. The event was attended by the school community and invited guests including the Lord Mayor of Norwich Councillor Dr Kevin Maguire and the Sheriff of Norwich and Norwich High School for Girls alumna, Caroline Jarrold.<\/p>\n

The service began with a tribute to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, following her sad passing the week before. The school community held a minute\u2019s silence, listened to a tribute by Miss Alison Sefton, Head of Norwich High School for Girls, and joined together to sing the National Anthem.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There then followed the welcome speech by the new Chair of the Governing Body, Mrs Liz Sillitoe. She commented: \u201cAs an alumna of Norwich High School for Girls, I was delighted to be asked to stand up in front of the school community to welcome everyone, including the returning Class of 2022 following their outstanding A Level results in the summer.”<\/p>\n\n <\/article>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
