Town Close School: Every Moment Matters
At Town Close School, every child is known, valued and
challenged to achieve their very best. Guided by our philosophy that “Every
Moment Matters”, we provide an exceptional educational experience that combines
academic excellence, outstanding pastoral care and a wealth of opportunities
beyond the classroom.
As a leading independent Prep School, we are committed to
helping every pupil flourish as an individual. Our nurturing environment
develops confidence, curiosity and resilience, while high expectations inspire
children to reach their full potential.
Recent investment in our facilities reflects our commitment
to providing the very best learning environment. Pupils now benefit from a
second science laboratory, dedicated drama studio, Pre-Prep DT workshop,
cookery room, Year 8 Common Room and onsite netball court, alongside our Sports
Hall, Swimming Pool, Performance Hall, Art Room, DT Room, Computer Suites,
astro turf, sports fields and Library. These specialist spaces enrich the
curriculum and encourage hands-on, engaging learning.
Beyond the classroom, Town Close offers an extensive
co-curricular programme designed to help every child discover and develop their
talents. Partnerships with Norwich Swans Swimming Club, East Anglia Tennis and
Squash Club, Norwich City Community Sports Foundation and Central School of
Dance provide access to expert coaching and specialist tuition. A wide range of
clubs encourages pupils to explore new interests, pursue existing passions and
build confidence in a supportive environment.
Innovation is central to our educational approach. Our
Pre-Prep and Pre-Senior Baccalaureates promote deeper learning, critical
thinking, creativity and independence. By encouraging pupils to take ownership
of their learning, we equip them with the skills and mindset needed to thrive
in an ever-changing world. Educational visits, residential experiences,
international trips and the thoughtful integration of technology further enrich
learning and broaden horizons.
At the heart of school life is The Town Close Way—our
values-led approach promoting kindness, responsibility, resilience and respect.
Recognised by inspectors as a significant strength, these values shape
relationships, learning and decision-making across the school.
Town Close is a school where children embrace challenges,
celebrate achievements and make the most of every opportunity. By combining
academic ambition with exceptional pastoral support, we prepare pupils for
success at senior school and beyond, ensuring they leave with the confidence,
character and adaptability to flourish in all aspects of life.
