"A good start, but some improvements needed"

We're still getting used to the school's routines and policies, but overall, we're pleased with the experience so far. The 'TREK' values seem to be taken seriously, and the teachers are approachable and helpful. However, we've had some issues with communication and logistics, which have caused some frustration. Hopefully, these will be ironed out as we settle in.

"North Walsham High School - A great choice!"

I'm so pleased with the values that North Walsham High School instills in our children. The 'TREK' values of Trust, Resilience, Excellence, and Kindness are evident in everything they do. My child has thrived in their time at the school, making great friends and achieving excellent grades. The facilities are also first-rate, with top-notch sports and music facilities.

"Excellent education and caring community"

I have nothing but praise for North Walsham High School. My child attended the school from 2018-2022 and had an amazing experience. The teachers are dedicated and passionate about their subjects, and the school's emphasis on social responsibility and community service really stood out. My child made lifelong friends and developed into a confident, capable young adult.
