Our school was a pillar of academic excellence and community spirit from its foundation in 1924 until it closed in 2019. With a mission to nurture curious minds and responsible citizens, we provided a well-rounded education that balanced academics, extracurriculars, and character-building. Over the years, we expanded our facilities, embraced digital innovation, and created opportunities for students to thrive in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Our History
School History
Hethersett Old Hall School was an independent school located in Hethersett, Norfolk, that educated around 180 boys and girls. It was a day school for girls aged 3–18 and for boys aged 3–11, with boarding for girls from age 9.
The school was opened, at Hellesdon House, in September 1924 by Mrs C. P. Andrews. In 1938, the school moved to the Old Hall in Hethersett, a building which dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries. A sixth form was established in September 1984. The school celebrated 75 years at the Old Hall in 2013.
On 14 August 2019 it was announced the school would not reopen after the summer break as it was unable to attract and retain enough pupils to make it financially viable.
