CUTHRIVE

At The Free School Norwich we understand that there is more to learning academic subjects. We aim to educate the whole child to make them good citizens of the future. Part of this is to encourage children’s understanding of the following aims to enable them to succeed, not only in school, but in whatever they choose to do. Our CUTHRIVE programme is designed to promote the positive.
