This remains our largest site, with provision ranging from school leavers to degree-level studies.

Having merged with both Paston College and Easton College, and with a Higher Education Centre in the heart of Norwich, the college continues to serve the communities of Norfolk, Suffolk and beyond offering A Levels, T Levels, career-focussed courses, Apprenticeships, adult education, ESOL courses, degrees and university-level study.

The college management team plays an active role in local, regional and national policy for further education. The College is one of three national Centres for Excellence in SEND for the Education and Training Foundation, a tangible demonstration of our commitment to being an inclusive College.

Our people commitments

In order to achieve our vision of 'Changing Norfolk through leaming', we need to ensure that throughout the time that people spend at the college, across all stages of their journey within the organisation; from recruitment, to onboarding, to how they perform and develop in their roles, that our culture is based on a positive and engaging experience through;

  • Trusting each other and empowering people to do their roles
  • All taking responsibility for what we do
  • Having a voice about our work and workplaces
  • Working together and supporting each other

These commitments align to two key statements of our institutional values - our "Ways of Working" and our "fundamentals". Our Ways of Working describe the values that underpin how we work with each other.

Equality, diversity and inclusion at our college

City College Norwich believes that diversity is natural and equality is right and that equality, diversity and inclusion are everyone’s responsibility. City College Norwich intends to lead by example on equality and diversity by being pro-active, practical and positive.

We promote equality because we know it’s the right thing to do.

Research shows that more equal societies are better for everyone (www.equalitytrust.org.uk). Equality is about being valued for who and what we are. This helps us to achieve our best without unfair obstacles, stigma or stereotyping, or being restricted by anyone’s expectations of our ability.

In practice, equality means three things for all of us:

  • Being able to get to, in to and around our sites and complete the learning journey, with equal ease and dignity.
  • Having a sense of belonging and well-being.
  • Feeling the place, the programmes and the policies have been designed with us all in mind.

We value diversity because it makes our organisations more creative places to learn and work.

We celebrate the fact that our students and staff, are from different social and ethnic backgrounds; women or men, cisgender or transgender; black and white; of all ages, cultures and faiths; lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and straight; disabled and non-disabled; from nearby and further afield.

We know that diverse teams make better decisions, and diverse classrooms produce richer learning. Diverse groups are much more likely to be more in tune with reality.

In practice, this means:

  • Seeing and hearing people like ourselves around, as learners and staff, so that our organisations mirror the diversity of society.
  • Listening to different points of view to improve how we run our organisations.
  • Valuing our differences as well as the things we have in common.

City College Norwich (CCN) is part of a larger educational group in Norfolk, England, that includes Easton College and Paston College
