Things to note
Pupils explore a range of two and/or three-dimensional media, processes and techniques, when they are made aware of new and traditional technologies.

The Dance Department at Norwich School strives to develop an energetic, enthusiastic and healthy community of pupils, striving to give all pupils experience in a range of dance styles and dance performance.
Drama is an extremely popular activity throughout the school, with more than 400 pupils involved in production and performance during a typical year.
They offer exceptional opportunities in all aspects of music, including instrumental study, ensemble playing, composition, jazz studies, choral music and cathedral choristership.
The usual entry ages are 4+, 7+, 11+, 13+ and 16+, although places are sometimes available in other year groups where space allows. All children from age 6 + sit written or digital papers, irrespective of their entry point. They are then interviewed in a style that is appropriate to their age. In the Senior School, this stage consists of interactive activities that might include creative, artistic, dramatic, scientific or sporting activities, and which are always good fun! The decision whether to accept an applicant is based on the assessment, the interview and a reference provided by their current/previous school.
