About us

Independent schools Norwich

Centred around a beautiful neo-Jacobean hall, the Preparatory school and purpose built Pre-Prep and Nursery facilities nestle in 100 acres of stunning, private woodland. Just six miles from Norwich City centre and providing weekly and flexi boarding options, our school is a popular choice with local and long distance families alike.

Academic excellence

We believe an education should stretch, inspire and develop every child. For us it’s all about opportunity and choice through small classes. Focus is on personalised learning and target setting with an awareness of each individual’s learning style.

Our examination success at scholarship and common entrance level is impressive with over sixty scholarships having been won over the past decade. This year’s Year 8 leavers all gained places at their first choice senior schools.

First-class facilities

The historic façade of Taverham Hall belies the fine facilities within. Purpose built Pre-Prep and Nursery rooms provide a child friendly environment, specific to their needs. Recent additions to the Pre-Prep and Prep schools include a new ICT suite, IT systems and state-of-the-art interactive whiteboards in every classroom. All facilities are within school grounds, providing safe and easy access for your children at all times. View the full list of our school facilities.

Superb, supportive care

A supportive and nurturing environment is provided for all of the children in our care. We also understand working parents and busy schedules, so for day pupils we offer after school clubs, evening meals and flexible boarding options. Each is helpful for you and fun for your children.

Taverham Hall, since its foundation in 1921, has had its roots in the Christian faith, whilst welcoming and valuing the beliefs of all faiths, cultures and nationalities. Encouraging each pupil’s spiritual discovery and expression is an important part of our work, and our daily assemblies, which are Christian in nature, offer the opportunity for reflection and consideration of the values, beliefs and principles held in common by all faiths.
