Norfolk House School

[EduCativ]

Norfolk House School is an independent school in Birmingham for boys and girls between 3 and 11 years of age which prides itself upon academic excellence. The School occupies a beautiful period house which retains much of its original homely atmosphere. It is located on the elegant and leafy Calthorpe Estate, just a few minutes drive from Birmingham city center. We limit our intake, ensuring that class numbers are small enough to allow close personal attention to be given to every pupil, an approach which is reflected in our excellent examination results.

The standards of work at Norfolk House School are very high. Our teaching methods uphold traditional values, emphasizing the core areas of English and Mathematics as the essential basis for learning, whilst introducing innovation to further motivate our young learners.

Our pupils consistently perform very well in examinations for entry to the many excellent local authority grammar schools in Birmingham and prestigious independent senior schools, the vast majority being offered places at their school of choice. We aim to impart not only a first-rate academic education but also a complete social education that emphasizes good manners, mutual respect, and self-discipline. Norfolk House School is a Christian, non-denominational school, however, our pupils represent a variety of cultures and faiths.

At Norfolk House School we are very proud of our outstanding academic record. Being committed to high standards as well as having equally high expectations, our innovative approach encourages the pupils to become not only well-motivated and successful learners but also interesting, rounded individuals.

At Norfolk House School we seek to cultivate the minds of our pupils through a shared enthusiasm for diverse subjects and by broadening the curriculum to foster curiosity about the wider world through numerous challenges beyond the classroom. We want our pupils to feel inspired by their learning and eager to find out more.

Our caring, family environment enables our staff to forge strong relationships with the pupils. It is only when they feel happy, safe, and relaxed that they can truly thrive and fulfill their potential.

We delight in the way our pupils develop as confident and independent learners, each achieving to the height of their ability. The School’s reputation for academic excellence at 11+ is firmly established, as reflected in its examination results, and its strengths in the teaching of mathematics and English are highly valued. Our pupils leave us cherishing traditional values such as good manners, respect for others, and kindness, fully prepared for the next stage of their journey.

Our ethos comes from what we believe in – passionately: that each child is an individual to be nurtured that a happy and caring environment is the bedrock of a child’s development that good manners and respect for others are values which should never be compromised that working hard and playing hard go hand-in-hand that cultural and religious diversity is to be celebrated and that education is an exciting, life-long process which starts with us here at Norfolk House School.

In preparing Norfolk House School children for a happy and successful life, we aim:

• To provide all our children with opportunities to achieve their academic potential.
• To develop an enquiring mind within a family environment where they feel valued and which addresses all aspects of the children’s spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development.
