Students at City of Norwich School are celebrating excellent outcomes after collecting their post-16 results today. Students have achieved exceptional A-level results which reflect their hard work and the superb teaching they have received throughout the past two years of their studies. These results have enabled them to secure places at their chosen universities, on coveted apprenticeships, and in the world of work.
