Members to Declare any Interests Please indicate whether the interest is a personal one only or one which is prejudicial. A declaration of a personal interest should indicate the nature of the interest and the agenda item to which it relates. In the case of a personal interest, the member may speak and vote on the matter. Please note that if you are exempt from declaring a personal interest because it arises solely from your position on a body to which you were nominated by the County Council or a body exercising functions of a public nature (e.g. another local authority), you need only declare your interest if and when you intend to speak on a matter. If a prejudicial interest is declared, the member should withdraw from the room whilst the matter is discussed unless members of the public are allowed to make representations, give evidence or answer questions about the matter, in which case you may attend the meeting for that purpose. You must immediately leave the room when you have finished or the meeting decides you have finished, if earlier. These declarations apply to all those members present, whether the member is part of the meeting, attending to speak as a local member on an item or simply observing the meeting from the public seating area. 4.

  • Norwich City College of Further and Higher Education Monitoring Visit Report
    Norwich City College of Further and Higher Education Monitoring visit report Unique reference number: 130764 Name of lead inspector: Russ Henry, HMI Inspection date(s): 9 to 10 May 2019 Type of provider: General further education college Ipswich Road Norwich Address: Norfolk NR2 2LJ Monitoring visit: main findings Context and focus of visit In December 2017, Norwich City College of Further and Higher Education, a large general further education college in Norwich, merged with Paston Sixth Form College in North Walsham. The most recent inspection reports for both colleges found them to be ‘good’. Each part of the college has maintained its own identity. The Norwich campus continues to be known informally as City College Norwich (CCN) and Paston Sixth Form College is known simply as Paston College. The purpose of this monitoring visit was to investigate the progress leaders and managers have made in establishing shared systems, and in maintaining or improving the previously high standard of education on offer. At the time of the monitoring visit, there were just over 7,500 learners of all ages following classroom-based and apprenticeship programmes in a wide range of subjects. Themes What progress have leaders, managers and Significant progress governors made in establishing a shared vision, mission and values, and in creating a culture of high expectations? Following the decision to merge, the principal and senior leaders of CCN established a clear communication strategy. They kept staff informed about events in the run up to the merger. Since the completion of the merger, they have continued to ensure that everyone at the college is clear about the expectations and values of the new organisation.
