Red Balloon - Norwich
Norwich, Norfolk, East of England · NR3 2PW
Red Balloon - Norwich is a notably small independent school, with around 37 pupils on roll, taking children from age 11. Its size points to an intensely personal setting, where each pupil can be known and supported individually rather than lost in a crowd. Headline attainment figures sit well below national averages, but those numbers rarely tell the whole story for a school of this kind, where the priority may be re-engaging pupils and rebuilding confidence as much as exam outcomes.
