  • Norwich School Behaviour and Sanctions Policy
    Norwich School Behaviour and Sanctions Policy Aims and objectives This policy sets out the school’s aim to provide a disciplined and ordered community in which all children, irrespective of ethnic or religious background, appearance, sexuality or ability, can learn and feel safe, where every member of the school feels valued and respected and all pupils are fairly and consistently treated. In particular, this policy aims to outline the measures to be taken to encourage good behaviour and to prevent all forms of bullying among pupils. The Behaviour Policy takes account of the DfE guidance “Behaviour and Discipline in Schools” (February 2014) and also acknowledges the school’s legal duties under the Equality Act 2010 and in respect of pupils with SEN. The policy should be read in conjunction with the Anti-Bullying Policy, Equal Opportunities Policy and Learning Support Policy. The objectives of this policy are to promote good behaviour, self-discipline and respect and to show the place of the school’s rewards and sanctions: by ensuring that all members of the Norwich School community – pupils, staff, parents and Governors – understand their role in contributing to the creation of a stimulating, caring and secure environment where boys and girls are encouraged to realise their potential in all areas of school activity; by making clear the standards of behaviour and commitment that the school expects from pupils; by encouraging pupils to adopt positive attitudes and values such as consideration, honesty and respect for others; by setting out the means by which the school will praise and reward pupils when they reach these standards and thereby help them grow into responsible members of the school community; by giving a clear, easily understood framework in which pupils who fail to meet these standards will be told that this is the case, be given clear guidelines and expectations for improvement and issued with proportionate school sanctions as appropriate.

  • Norwich School Outreach Our Objectives for This Session and Our Plan
    Norwich School Outreach Our objectives for this session and our plan: Ultimate aim: We hope that this session will give you a flavour of what our Outreach Programme is about along with how we produced our ‘Reaching Out’ booklet and how we are adapting our practice in light of recent press and help from ISC and HMC • A little about Norwich School, the AMO team and the wider community of Norwich and Norfolk • Timeline • Telling our story • Reaching Out v1 • Reaching Out v2 • Feedback and what we are now taking on board ahead of Reaching Out v3 • Use of the ISC Toolkit • Use of a staff audit (still to do a pupil audit) • Step by Step guide, including what a ‘typical week’ looks like • A case study – the Norfolk Summer School (if time) • Time for Questions The AMO Team A little about us: Nicola Hill is Assistant Head in charge of Admissions, Marketing and Outreach at Norwich School. She is in her 16th year at the school, having worked in various other roles (Head of Maths, Assistant Head of Fourth Form and most recently Acting Principal Deputy Head). Prior to arriving at Norwich School, she worked in three Norfolk state schools. She has always enjoyed working with pupils from many different schools: early in her teaching career she helped run annual Maths Summer Schools for local Year 6 pupils and was instrumental in the launch of the Norfolk Royal Institution Maths Masterclasses, which are still taking place at Norwich School many years later. Most recently, Nicola has enjoyed working with her outreach team to organise intergenerational events and pupil/parent workshops for Year 5 pupils and has just published the latest edition of ‘Reaching Out’ which celebrates Norwich School’s broad and varied outreach programme.

  • More Impact Here Are Eight Stories to Remind Us That
    MORE IMPACT Resolutions are so last year. In 2013, let’s have ‘New Year’s inspirations’ instead. Here are eight examples from More Partnership to get you started. Some we’ve been personally involved in. Others are simply stories that have inspired us over the last 12 months. All are reminders that raising funds is just the beginning. What really matters is impact. So here’s wishing you more gifts and more impact for 2013. MORE IMPACT 1,450 midwives. That’s how many AMREF has started training so far. The health charity launched its Stand Up for African Mothers campaign in 2012 because 177,000 women die giving birth across the continent each year, many simply for want of the most basic medical care. AMREF reckons that, if it can train 15,000 midwives by 2015, it will save 45,000 lives a year – and hundreds of thousands of children from orphanhood. No ivory tower… but an ecological and architectural unfurling. The University of Cambridge’s Sainsbury Laboratory for plant sciences, the result of a gift from the Gatsby Foundation, won the 2012 Stirling Prize for the best new building in the UK. Daylight floods into the laboratories, which stretch out on a single elegant level along the University’s historic Botanical Gardens. And so a gift to science turns out to be an engine of beauty. Back in 1968, a record-company boss invested $200,000 in a new band. In 2007, the year after his death, the group reformed for one night only, with profits going to their benefactor’s educational foundation.

  • 1957 Wymondham College Magazine
    WYMONDHAM COLLEGE MAGAZINE 3 EDITORIAL The approaching end of the school year is a time when many direct their gaze towards the long summer holiday . One fondly imagines long hours of sunshine, with opportunities for prolonged relaxation when all the cares and burdens of school life can be dismissed from the mind . But these last weeks of term are traditionally also a time for taking stock and surveying the events of the past year . This magazine embodies records of the activities which have absorbed our energies during that time . It is now generally recognised that it is not the purpose of a school merely to instruct its pupils in certain subjects, important though this undoubtedly is . Through the medium of the many varied clubs and societies, school excursions, and games, boys and girls are able to partake of a much wider range of experiences than might otherwise be the case . This is one respect in which a community such as ours contrasts with many, if not most, of the schools in countries on the Continent. One of the earliest observations made by the two masters from the boys' school at Gottingen during their visit to the College last summer was concerned with this difference. For many of our pupils, this July marks the end of their school career . Youth does not invariably heed the lessons as they are pointed out at the time, but one cherishes the hope that, as they make their way in the world, they will feel the benefit of the years they have spent at Wymondham College .

  • Admissions Guide
    ADMISSIONS GUIDE ADMISSIONS INFORMATION 2019 – 2020 1 InAdmissions Detail Guide Welcome Ethos Learning is at the heart of the broad education we offer at Norwich School. This invaluable asset is underpinned by strong Christian values, especially those Welcome of love, care and compassion, which we emphasise in all activities and relationships within our community. The key ingredient when thinking about the right school for you or a member of your family is fit: does it feel right? There are plenty of empirical factors which can be brought to bear in the decision-making process, from academic results to pastoral care ratios, from the number and quality of co-curricular activities to the amount of engagement with the wider community. However, there are also less tangible factors such as the physical location of the school and the value system which underpins its routines. We hope that this document, in conjunction with our website (www.norwich-school.org.uk), helps to lay out what Norwich School offers so that you can analyse whether you feel there is a fit between you and us. It certainly contains information regarding measurable criteria and practical information about application, but I hope you can also get an impression of where we are and what we stand for from the images and explanation of our ethos and aims. A document can only tell you so much, of course. We believe that a visit creates an even more vivid impression, so my colleagues, the pupils and I look forward to welcoming you in person to Cathedral Close. Aims Norwich School is committed to: • nurturing and developing knowledgeable, reflective young people who are capable of understanding difficult concepts and expressing complex and profound ideas; • providing a rich, broad and varied education that develops the diverse talents of all; • equipping our young people for a lifetime of leadership and service.
