Town Close School is an independent school located in Norwich, England. The heart of the School is two large town houses, one early Georgian and the other mid-Victorian. Purpose-built classrooms have been added in recent years along with an indoor heated swimming pool and a state of the art sports hall, attracting national attention. In more recent times they have bought an Astro-turf pitch with the Hewett School.
The school has attained notable sporting success, with one pupil becoming the under-12 girls’ national javelin champion in July 2011, and 2 other pupils being placed in the National Prep Schools Athletics Championships, held at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham.
The school has a playing field situated further out from the city on the Newmarket Road. Norwich City Football Club played at this Newmarket Road site from 1902 to 1908, with a record attendance of 10,366 against Sheffield Wednesday in a second round FA Cup match in 1908. Following a dispute over the conditions of renting the Newmarket Road ground, in 1908, the club moved to a new home, in a converted disused chalk pit in Rosary Road which became known as "The Nest".
