History
In 1910, the Education Committee decided to merge the King Edward VI Middle School in Norwich with the Municipal and Presbyterian Schools for boys to create the new City of Norwich School, a boys' grammar school, which was to be built at Eaton.
Grammar school
It had around 950 boys in 1960, and around 850 in 1969 when administered by the Norwich Education Committee.
Comprehensive
It became a comprehensive in 1970 at which point its name changed to Eaton (City of Norwich) School and co-educational in 1971. Three female sixth-formers were admitted in 1972 (Hazel, Marian and Mary.) The school was refurbished in 2007. The Arc is a brand new building, as is the Skinner Centre.
Academy
Previously a community school administered by Norfolk County Council, City of Norwich School converted to academy status on 1 September 2014 and is now sponsored by Ormiston Academies Trust. However the school continues to coordinate with Norfolk County Council for admissions.
Admissions
It has over 1,500 pupils and currently employs over 190 staff. As well as being a secondary comprehensive school the school also has a sixth form, in partnership with the smaller Hethersett High School, with 791 pupils.
It is situated just west of the A146 ring road (former A47), with the A11 to the north and the A140 to the south. Eaton Golf Club is next door to the south-west.
House system
There are five houses within the school which are named after famous beaches in Norfolk. These houses are Blakeney whose colour is Blue, Holkam whose colour is Purple, Kelling whose colour is Green, Thornham whose colour is Yellow and Winterton whose colour is Red.
Charities Week
CNS Charities Week is a week usually the last school week before Christmas where the pupils and members of staff attempt to raise as much money as possible for a charity of the school's choice. The week involves fund raising activities such as Total Wipeout, The X Factor, a teacher auction and CNS Got Talent.
