Sixth forms and colleges in Norwich

Of the twelve sixth forms and colleges with a Norwich address, two have a report card, four have key judgements without an overall grade, five have an overall grade on the old scale and one has no inspection in the data we hold. Among the eleven with an inspection, the oldest verdict, at Taverham High School, dates from 16 May 2023; the latest, at City of Norwich School, An Ormiston Academy, from 30 June 2026.

Here, Norwich means the schools whose address in the register of schools gives Norwich as the town; schools of the area with another town in their address are not included. State schools with a sixth form, and state schools and colleges for students aged 16 and over, in the register of schools: 0 of them selective. Colleges that the register lists as further education colleges, including some sixth form colleges, are not included.

Each mark is one of the schools below, at the date of its latest inspection: report card key judgements only overall grade, old scale ungraded inspection. Behind them, the ruler Ofsted used on that date: pale, an overall grade on the old four-point scale (until 31 August 2024); mid blue, key judgements without an overall grade (from 1 September 2024); deep blue, report cards (from 10 November 2025).
