The governing body of the College is known as the City College Norwich Corporation. The Corporation of the College is an independent legal body which comprises up to twenty members who are drawn mainly from business and the local community. Governors are appointed by Corporation, following a nomination process. Additionally, the Principal serves as a Governor, and a small number of Governors are elected by staff and students at the College. Our current Governors are listed on this page.
The role of the Corporation is to set the strategic direction and framework within which the College operates, monitor results, and support the College to provide a high quality and effective learning experience for everyone who attends the College. The Corporation, which is not directly involved in the day-to-day management of the College, has six principal responsibilities:
- to determine the educational mission and character of the College;
- to approve the quality strategy;
- to be satisfied as to the effective and efficient use of resources;
- to approve the annual budget;
- to appoint the senior staff (Principal, and Deputy Principal) and determine their pay and conditions;
- to set the framework for pay and conditions of service for all other staff.
