The Lord Mayor of Norwich and the Sheriff of Norwich were special guests at the recent official unveiling of the new kitchen for Foundation Learning students at City College Norwich.

The visit provided an opportunity for the Mayor and Sheriff to see first-hand why the College was awarded the highest Ofsted rating of ‘Outstanding’ for its work across the board for students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities, including its pioneering work to develop enterprise and employability skills. 

NVQ and VRQ level 3 Hairdressing students from City College Norwich presented an afternoon of hair demonstrations and exhibition of their work when they hosted the L'Art de la Coiffure Hair Show on Monday 29th April.

The show, held in the StartUp Lounge, allowed students to exhibit their mood boards, photographs taken at Dunston Hall and hair creations inspired by fairy tale, vintage/retro and red carpet themes to their family and employers. Students also had the opportunity to show off their practical skills as they presented a range of hair demonstrations during the show.

A key milestone in the construction of City College Norwich’s impressive new creative arts building – due to open for the 2013-14 academic year – was marked with a ‘topping out’ ceremony this week.

Principal Corrienne Peasgood, chief executive Dick Palmer and corporation chairman Matthew Colmer were given a tour of the building and helped to fasten flashing to the roof of the three-storey building.
