Cavell Hall named after Nurse Edith Cavell
Fry Hall named after Mrs. Elizabeth Fry
Kett Hall named after Robert Kett
Lincoln Hall, named after Abraham Lincoln
Peel Hall, named after Alderman Sam Peel, Chairman of Norfolk Education Committee when the College was opened
and New Hall

All Year 7 students begin in Peel Hall. Most of our Year 7 boarders are new to boarding and so Peel Hall provides what amounts to an induction year before students progress to their main school house. Cavell Hall, Fry Hall, Kett Hall and New Hall are all main school houses for Years 8 - 11 and enable staff to focus on the needs of students through to when they take their GCSE examinations.

Lincoln Hall was greatly extended in 2008 to provide accommodation for all Year 12 and Year 13 students. The new Enid Ralphs Building provides first class en suite accommodation for all Year 13 boarders and exceptionally well appointed social, study and recreational areas for all sixth formers. Year 12 students are accommodated in the original Lincoln Hall which has been remodelled over the years to provide comfortable single and twin bed accommodation with shared facilities.

All the College boarding houses are mixed with girls and boys having sleeping accommodation on self contained corridors but sharing social and communal spaces. Boarding houses are staffed by a resident Head of House and Deputy Head of House and two resident boarding tutors. Other teaching staff work in the boarding houses in the evening to supervise boarders and provide additional academic and pastoral guidance. Care and support is also provided by house matrons, many of whom are the mothers of students at the College.
