Norwood was educated at Whitgift School, Croydon and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, whence he graduated with a BA in 1953. Following university Norwood worked firstly as a management trainee, then assumed various positions at the National Coal Board (NCB) before finding employment in the economic projection section of the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB).
