Since its inception the Festival has provided an opportunity for local people of all ages to display their musical talents by performing in public, receiving friendly advice from professional adjudicators to help them develop their musical skills. Over the years many thousands of children and adults have performed on the various stages around Norwich as soloists, in bands, choirs and orchestras, putting aside their nerves and putting on their best show for an audience of friends, relatives and the general public. As well as providing a platform for the players, the NCMF provides an opportunity for local music teachers to show off their pupils’ achievements and for the public to appreciate the huge wealth of musical talent this county has to offer. In recent years the changing face of music education in schools has brought a new dimension to the Festival. In addition to the school choirs which have long been a feature, we now include a Whole Class Ensemble Tuition (WCET) session as many schools now provide this form of education especially for younger, primary age, children. In recognition of the fact that many primary schools can no longer afford a dedicated music teacher the NCMF provides an opportunity for one school each year to benefit from financial assistance through the David Capp Memorial Bursary. One primary school entering a choir in the Festival will be awarded this £1000 bursary by our choirs adjudicator. This funding is intended to help the children and teacher(s) develop their skills through extra tuition and courses throughout the year. The running costs of the NCMF are met by entry fees, admission charges (very good value!) and a bequest made by Olive Shorten, whose father founded the Festival in 1925. The Norfolk Music Hub also contributes towards our running costs. The official accompanists are paid for by a bequest made by Ursula King in memory of her late husband. So many people are involved in the organisation of the Festival it is impossible to thank them all, but special mention must be made of the Stewards who provide their services on a voluntary basis, often giving up entire days to ensure the smooth running of the sessions. Much has been written and said about the power and importance of music. Maybe it is enough to say that music acts as a common thread which connects us all, providing joy and hope in our troubled world. What greater gift, therefore, can we give our children? We hope you enjoy the Festival!

  • Norwich School Behaviour and Sanctions Policy
    Norwich School Behaviour and Sanctions Policy Aims and objectives This policy sets out the school’s aim to provide a disciplined and ordered community in which all children, irrespective of ethnic or religious background, appearance, sexuality or ability, can learn and feel safe, where every member of the school feels valued and respected and all pupils are fairly and consistently treated. In particular, this policy aims to outline the measures to be taken to encourage good behaviour and to prevent all forms of bullying among pupils. The Behaviour Policy takes account of the DfE guidance “Behaviour and Discipline in Schools” (February 2014) and also acknowledges the school’s legal duties under the Equality Act 2010 and in respect of pupils with SEN. The policy should be read in conjunction with the Anti-Bullying Policy, Equal Opportunities Policy and Learning Support Policy. The objectives of this policy are to promote good behaviour, self-discipline and respect and to show the place of the school’s rewards and sanctions: by ensuring that all members of the Norwich School community – pupils, staff, parents and Governors – understand their role in contributing to the creation of a stimulating, caring and secure environment where boys and girls are encouraged to realise their potential in all areas of school activity; by making clear the standards of behaviour and commitment that the school expects from pupils; by encouraging pupils to adopt positive attitudes and values such as consideration, honesty and respect for others; by setting out the means by which the school will praise and reward pupils when they reach these standards and thereby help them grow into responsible members of the school community; by giving a clear, easily understood framework in which pupils who fail to meet these standards will be told that this is the case, be given clear guidelines and expectations for improvement and issued with proportionate school sanctions as appropriate.

  • More Impact Here Are Eight Stories to Remind Us That
    MORE IMPACT Resolutions are so last year. In 2013, let’s have ‘New Year’s inspirations’ instead. Here are eight examples from More Partnership to get you started. Some we’ve been personally involved in. Others are simply stories that have inspired us over the last 12 months. All are reminders that raising funds is just the beginning. What really matters is impact. So here’s wishing you more gifts and more impact for 2013. MORE IMPACT 1,450 midwives. That’s how many AMREF has started training so far. The health charity launched its Stand Up for African Mothers campaign in 2012 because 177,000 women die giving birth across the continent each year, many simply for want of the most basic medical care. AMREF reckons that, if it can train 15,000 midwives by 2015, it will save 45,000 lives a year – and hundreds of thousands of children from orphanhood. No ivory tower… but an ecological and architectural unfurling. The University of Cambridge’s Sainsbury Laboratory for plant sciences, the result of a gift from the Gatsby Foundation, won the 2012 Stirling Prize for the best new building in the UK. Daylight floods into the laboratories, which stretch out on a single elegant level along the University’s historic Botanical Gardens. And so a gift to science turns out to be an engine of beauty. Back in 1968, a record-company boss invested $200,000 in a new band. In 2007, the year after his death, the group reformed for one night only, with profits going to their benefactor’s educational foundation.
