Gresham’s

ounded in 1555, Gresham’s is an authentic boarding and day school providing a rounded education to boys and girls aged two to 18. The school has excellent facilities spanning a 200-acre site, set just four miles from the breathtaking North Norfolk coast. Gresham’s provides a broad and enriching education, enabling pupils to discover their own talents and develop into confident, well-rounded individuals. THE DYSON BUILDING The Dyson Building opened at Gresham’s in September 2021. Sir James Dyson, a former pupil at the school, enabled the innovative new centre for science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) education.

The dedicated centre for STEAM subjects disrupts the established narrative that young people must choose between science and the arts at an early stage. By teaching the subjects side by side, pupils see how the knowledge gained from one discipline can be used innovatively in another. Creativity and original thinking have always been the cornerstones of a Gresham’s education; the Dyson Building establishes state-of-the-art facilities to see this continue today. The building is a hub for STEAM education across Norfolk and enables great opportunities for the outreach programme, which is run with local schools. Activities include building and launching rockets, coding Sphero bots and building a model space station.
