Principal's blog

Open for breakfast, lunch, afternoon teas and dinner - and all with local produce. See our students and staff show off the various vocational skills on offer across the college - northern end of the showground near the Countryside area

There is a fantastic Visual Arts Show by A Level students from City College Norwich's Sixth Form Centre currently exhibiting down in The Mall, in Norwich (inside the old Zavvi shop premises - over three floors). Plesae do go down and have a look at the fine art, textiles and photography work of this  year's students - which are probably the best year to date. Well done to all the staff and the students who have made this such an inspiring and exciting event.

I am  pleased to announce that we will not be cutting any courses on financial grounds, and will be protecting our services for students, after we have been forced to unveil proposals for making savings in our budget totalling £2.8m over the next 3 years.  Anyone thinking of applying for courses starting in September 2010 can rest assured that advertised courses will still be running – however, any new prospective students should get their applications in quickly as course places are filling up fast!     

A week in politics is a long time ... Norwich is now a "microcosm" of the new National Government; i.e. we have one Conservative MP and one Liberal Democrat. Moreover, Chloe Smith MP is still comparatively new having been an MP for less than one year and Simon Wright MP is brand new - again, in some ways, mirroring the new Government. This is a crucial time for everyone in the UK with the need to get borrowing sorted and the clear need to reduce the spending of the public purse.
