What the school inspection says

Date of report
2021
Verdict *
Good
“Pupils are proud to be a part of the City of Norwich School community. Bullying is very rare and behaviour is calm. Pupils rise to the high expectations of them ... In lessons, they concentrate and work hard. They say teachers’ consistent responses to any issues mean learning is seldom disrupted ... Pupils have a strong voice ... groups such as Expect Respect and COD (Celebrate Our Differences) ... challenge leaders to make changes ... Leaders have put in place a broad and well-designed curriculum, but show less ambition regarding the subjects pupils choose for Key Stage 4.”
