Welcome to Norfolk House School

Norfolk House School is an independent school in Birmingham for boys and girls between 3 and 11 years of age. The school occupies a large and 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 centre. We limit our intake for an optimum school roll, ensuring that class numbers are small enough to allow close personal attention to be given to each and every pupil. An approach which is reflected in our excellent exam results.

The standards of work at Norfolk House School are very high. Our teaching methods uphold traditional values, emphasising the ‘three Rs’ as the essential basis for comprehending the wider spectrum of subjects to which our pupils are introduced. At the same time we assimilate the best aspects of modern teaching practice into the curriculum.

Our pupils perform very well in examinations for entry to the many excellent grammar schools in Birmingham and to independent schools. Most pupils are offered places at their school of choice. We aim to impart not only a first-rate academic education, but also a complete social education which emphasises good manners, mutual respect and self-discipline. Norfolk House is a Christian, non-denominational school but our pupils come from a variety of cultures and faiths.
