Norwich High School for Girls GDST

Norwich High School for Girls GDST brings nursery, prep, senior and Sixth Form education into one girls-only journey. The all-through structure is part of the Girls' Day School Trust, with a day-school model that continues from age 3 to 19 and leaves no boarding stage between the earlier years and post-16 study.

The senior curriculum gives room to humanities, creative and performing arts, design and technology, physical education, modern and classical languages and the Beyond enrichment programme. Tutors, Heads of Year, a nurse and a counsellor support pupils through the senior years, while the Wellbeing Lodge and Jubilee Garden provide named spaces for care and reflection.

Know yourself, Look after yourself and Make it happen are practical prompts for the school's pastoral culture. School Council and Changemakers give pupils routes into student voice and initiative, connecting wellbeing with participation rather than keeping it as a separate service. The mix of creative, academic and practical subjects supports that wider sense of agency.

Entry is selective, with individual assessment considering merit and potential. The usual senior-school and Sixth Form application date is 31 December in the preceding year when no bursary or scholarship application is involved. Sixth Form applicants are interviewed and expected to have at least six GCSE grades at 6 or above.
