As one of the top performing
Sixth Forms in the country,
we have a consistent record

Cambridge and held the title
of top sporting college for the
whole of the eastern region for 8
years in a row.
You will have lots in common
with the people at EN as they’re
all school leavers too.
There are plenty of spaces for
you to socialise and meet up
with friends.
If you need to study then
we have the library for
quiet study or the skills
rooms for drop-in IT
access.
In the summer, you’ll
want to make the most
of the sunshine so we
have areas for you to
sit outside or we’re just
a short walk from the
gorgeous sandy beach.
The thought of college
may seem daunting, but
you’ll soon find your way
around our campus and
make lots of new friends.
We look forward to
welcoming you to this

Careers Development
Programme
Helping you find your
way in the world of
work
We are passionate about preparing students
for their futures, whatever their ambition,
and our Careers Development Programme
enhances the opportunities for our students
to progress to university, apprenticeships or
directly into employment.
In a hugely competitive environment, whether
straight from college or via University, you will
need to develop your employability skills to be
able to succeed. Quite often employers tell us it
is not only important to succeed academically
but also to have personal skills such as
flexibility, reliability, good communication skills,
team working and initiative. Our programme
will help you to develop these qualities through
a variety of initiatives.
We have established contacts with a multitude
of employers from all of the main employment
sectors. Our students can opt to take part in
placements within an industry or sector that
may interest them. In return, students will
need to demonstrate commitment, produce a
supporting statement and attend an interview
at the prospective placement.
We also encourage our students to get
involved in volunteering, which could include
fundraising and being a member of our
Student Association. Our students have the
option of joining the National Citizen Service
programme, which helps young people
build skills for work and life while taking on
exciting challenges, making new friends and
contributing to their community.
Work Related Learning is an important part
of our Career Development Programme. You
will see that there are many forms of Work
Related Learning:
Complementing your
academic journey with
practical life skills

We encourage and support students to seek
relevant Work Related Learning during their
time at the College so that they develop
their employability skills and make informed
decisions about their next steps after sixth form.
The Professional Mentoring Scheme
provides individual support from someone
who already works in a profession or industry
that a student may be interested in joining.
Our industry visits involve a wide range of
sectors from energy and engineering, to the
food and drink industry.
Many of our students get involved in
project work with local businesses and other
organisations. This is not only great for their
CVs but gives them an opportunity to work to a
real brief, liaising with the ‘customer’.
We help students plan for possible progression
routes, with an annual Careers Fair, many talks
and workshops from visiting speakers, a HE
progression information evening and several
enterprise events.
Every year we organise an Apprenticeship
Information event as an increasing number of
our students and their parents are interested
in finding out more about this progression
pathway.

The ExtENd
Programme
The ExtENd programme is for students who are aiming to get into
a highly competitive university and typically where the application
process includes some form of admissions process. The programme
challenges students to think ambitiously about where they see
themselves progressing onto after Sixth Form studies.
Oxbridge
Oxford and Cambridge
applications are managed
through UCAS but are typically
more demanding than
other universities. Both place
emphasis on a strong personal
statement and will include
an aptitude admissions test
alongside a formal interview.
The emphasis is not on what
has been studied as part of A
level instead the students are
expected to show how they
respond to unfamiliar problems
and to demonstrate what they
have studied outside the formal
curriculum. There is also an
accelerated UCAS application
process requiring completion
earlier than other universities.

In addition to the Russell Group
universities there are other
competitive HE institutions
that specialise, for example St
Martin’s School of Art (within
which is the London College
of Fashion), Bournemouth
University which has an
international reputation for
marketing and PR courses,
UEA with a strong background
in creative writing. Students
are also increasingly looking
to institutions outside the UK
including European universities
and US Colleges.
To enable our students to
be fully prepared the ExtENd
programme is designed to
support students with their
applications. Students are
placed with a dedicated ExtENd
tutor.
The tutors will have a broad
specialism in an academic area
e.g. Maths, Humanities in order
to facilitate the development of
subject related discussion.

3D Design is a specialism
within the Art and Design
team. Students develop skills
in design, model making
and drawing (both freehand
and digital). Following an
introductory period students
work on personal projects.
The course has a dedicated
studio equipped with
computers, drawing tables
and studio lighting for
photographing 3D work.
Adjacent to the studio is a
well-equipped multi-media
workshop for working in
metal, wood, plastic, plaster
and clay.
Many students have used the
course as a stepping stone to
degree courses in architecture,
product design, engineering,
model making, craft and
jewellery, gaining entry to
some of the most prestigious
courses in the country.
The Fine Art programme
is exciting and challenging,
encouraging experimentation
and self-expression in a wide
variety of media. Students
are offered support through
individual feedback and
tutorials.
At AS we teach a broad range
of skills through a series
of projects where you are
encouraged to experiment
and develop ideas by
reviewing and refining your
practice through informed
research. As a result, you will
begin to develop your own
individual style.
At A2 you develop a sustained
body of work on your chosen
personal theme supported
by 1000 – 3000 word
dissertation.
Graphics is a very diverse
subject within the visual arts
involving a multitude of art
& design disciplines and
materials. The emphasis is
on experimentation and
idea development to satisfy
illustration and design briefs.
You will gain experience using
a range of digital and manual
processes with an emphasis
on combining both for design
realisations. Areas to explore
include advertising, branding,
illustration, packaging,
typography and designs for
multi-media.
We use fully up-to-date,
industry standard Adobe
software.
The course is designed to
identify and capitalise on each
individual’s particular skills and
interests, with a central aim
of creating a diverse and
energetic studio environment.
‘The Bees’ - 3D Design
Jacob Talkowski communicates with Laline Paull, Author of ‘The Bees’

Photography in its 176 year history has literally changed the way
we see the world. Photography is both art and science. It’s at the
cutting edge of technological development and the modern world
is impossible to imagine without cameras.
Photography is everywhere and is used in multiple ways, from
recording in space to the smallest micro cameras in hospitals. The
creative industries generate £76.9 billion annually in the British
economy and 5% of all jobs are in this sector.
Digital technologies have sparked a revolution in photography and
there has never been a more exciting time to study this subject at
East Norfolk. There has been a huge investment in providing new
accommodation in Photography including two new computer
rooms and darkroom in the Newman building.

There is a hands-on practical start to AS covering a broad range of
processes to suit complete beginners as well as
more experienced.
As the course progresses it gradually becomes more independent
with a focus on small group teaching through workshops and 1:1
support; this allows students to develop their own interests and
produce personal work in a range of textile outcomes such as
fashion garments, interior furnishings and lighting, wall hangings,
jewellery and accessories as well as lengths of printed cloth.
Students are offered support through individual feedback and
tutorials.
At A-level students pick a focus for their studies around a specific
aspect of textile design and put into practice skills learnt at AS
to make more ambitious and challenging final pieces. There is
a strong focus on progression where students are supported to
develop their professional portfolios for use in seeking employment
or higher education places.

BTEC Business is a course that
when chosen with a good
combination of subjects,
could open many doors. Most
employers and universities
want to be assured that
potential candidates are able
to contextualise information
and apply knowledge and
theory and you will learn
these skills on the course.
Not only will you gain
fundamental knowledge
of a range of business
organisations and the
many factors that shape the
nature of them operating
in an increasingly complex
business world, we will teach
you how the management
of resources can impact on
business performance and
how marketing, research
and planning and the
marketing mix are used.
You will also learn how
successful communication
of information throughout
a business is critical for
the future prosperity of
an organisation, as well as
developing an understanding
of the fundamental concepts
that underpin e-business
operations.
The aim of Business A-level
is to take an all-inclusive
approach to the subject
in order to demonstrate
the inter-related nature of
individual topics. You will use
business models, theories
and techniques to analyse
contemporary business issues
and situations.
Year 1 Topics:
• Marketing
• Operations
• Human resources
• Finance
The focus is on how
decisions in these four
areas can improve business
performance. Developments
in digital technology, business
ethics and globalisation are
covered throughout the topics
so students can understand
their impact on firms.
The A level includes all of
the AS topics but also takes
a strategic approach to
business. This involves the
identification of businesses’
long-term or overall aims and
interests and the means of
achieving them.
Year 2 Topics:
• Analysing the strategic
position of a business
• Choosing a strategic
direction
• Strategic methods; how to
pursue strategies
• Managing strategic change.
Ever wondered why things
cost what they do?
Ever thought about the
choices you make when you
buy a product?
Ever wondered why there is
not enough to go round?
Ever wondered why some
people are richer than others?
Then all this and more is
covered in A-level Economics.
Economics tries to understand
how we try to match the
unlimited wants that humans
have with the limited
resources the earth has.
Economics explores how
we can do this efficiently
and fairly. Economics also
considers whether we have
achieved the right economic
solutions to solve that
problem.
You will get the chance to
debate this and to consider
alternative policies and ideas.

Film is the most important
art-form of the last 100 years,
bringing together people
of all nations and providing
entertainment and cultural
information whilst pushing
the boundaries of technology.
At AS, the main focus is
Hollywood and British
Cinema. You’ll cover the
history of film from its origins
in 1895 up to the present day,
and you’ll make close textual
analysis of a number of key
films.
At A2, you’ll study ‘varieties of
films’ from shorts to feature
lengths and from the silent
era, to documentaries all
the way through to global
cinema.
Throughout the course
you will also create either
a short film or screenplay
and an evaluative analysis to
compliment your practical
work.
These days most films on
DVD come with a load of
extras: how the film was
made, deleted scenes and
out-takes.
If you enjoy the extras as well
as watching the film then
this might be the course for
you. We start in the familiar
surroundings of Hollywood
before venturing beyond to
explore world cinema. Learn
from the greats and then
create your very own film
ideas.
You will look at the language
of film, how films are
constructed, and who the
audiences and institutions
are who make them. You will
get the opportunity to design
marketing materials for films
and to study films, directors
and actors that you are
particularly interested in.
The course offers an
introduction to media
employment and equips you
with essential skills that will
be necessary across the entire
creative media sector.
You will learn how to frame
and shoot video footage,
script writing, how to plan for
a film shoot, how to edit, how
to liaise with clients and much
more.
You can complete a single
block Certificate (equivalent
to 1 AS level) or the double
block Subsidiary Diploma
(equivalent to 1 full A Level)
in the first year and then
continue to a single or double
block in the second year.
You will be expected to
purchase a SDHC memory
card which will be used to
back-up important work. The
qualification has a mixture
of independent and group
work and you will be expected
to work equally well in both
scenarios. If you envision
working in a creative industry,
this is the course for you.

transferable skills that we help you when looking for jobs and
when applying for higher education courses, such as pitching
ideas, working with ICT and working for a specified brief to
deadlines. You will also be given a chance to look at job roles
in the gaming industry and what is needed in order to pursue
them.
The level 3 Subsidiary Diploma is worth 1 A level and takes up
1 block on the timetable over two years. If you stay for only the
first year you can qualify for the Level 3 Certificate (1 AS level
equivalent).
This qualification will introduce learners to the computer games
development process.
Learners will investigate an initial games idea; design the game
logic, game engines and other gameplay features.
Learners will also produce sound and art assets, and test their
final computer game product.
You will use professional software and applications, learn vital
communication skills and gain an understanding of what it is
like to work in the Games industry.

There is no denying the importance of media
or how much we have come to rely on it.
The new A-level in Media Studies looks
holistically at the institutions behind various
media platforms and the audiences that
consume them.
The way people, places and events are
represented will play a large part of the course
and you will also focus on different platforms
and how they have come to converge
alongside the study of media language.
Throughout the course you will be given the
opportunity to study music videos, video
games, advertising, film marketing, newspapers
and news / current affairs programmes.

audiences engage with interactive media
products.
Throughout the course you will develop IT skills
which are transferable across other computer

You will become competent in the use of
Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro. And
you will use various applications to design
and create products that can be trialled and
evaluated by an audience.
The course combines analysis, research, design
and hands-on practical working and is a

English Language enables
you to develop your interest
and enjoyment of English and
a deep knowledge of how
language works in a wide
variety of real-world spoken
and written texts. Language is
distinct from A-level Literature
as, on this course, you will
focus mainly on non-fiction
texts.
You will also engage creatively
with topical issues in language
in use. Throughout your
studies, you will develop
your understanding of all
the influences that shape the
language we use every day.
This GCSE will focus on
developing your reading and
writing skills.
In class, you will practice exam
technique and read extracts
from a range of texts, both
fiction and non-fiction to
develop your analytical skills.
The English Functional
Skills course is designed to
help build your skills and
confidence in English so that
you can progress either to the
next level of English Functional
Skills or the GCSE English
Language course, depending
what Level of Functional Skills
you start on.
The classes are small so there
is lots of individualised help
available; the emphasis is on
support with your literacy.
Reading and writing tests are
taken on computers and you
can take them when you are
ready and as often as you
need to succeed.
Speaking and listening is also
part of the assessment and
this will be assessed by your
teacher during the course.
Here, as well, you will have
several opportunities to
succeed.

Geology is a practical,
multidisciplinary science.
Geologists are scientific
detectives who try to reveal
the past and predict the future
of the Earth, studying rocks,
earthquakes, volcanoes and
the landforms of the planet.
Fossils are studied to help
understand the evolution
of life. Geologists also play
a leading role in managing
natural materials such as
water supplies, energy
resources and mineral
deposits.
Core content: Rocks and
minerals; Earth structure;
tectonics; sedimentary
environments; igneous and
metamorphic processes; how
the Earth has changed over
time; Earth resources.
Non-core content:
Planets; lithosphere; British

History is a very rewarding
subject to study because it
tries to interpret and explain
the events, issues and major
personalities that have helped
to shape the world we live in.
The options in the first year
are linked by the themes of
nationalism and dictatorship
and their links with
democracy.
In studying Germany (Paper
1) and either Italy or Spain
(Paper 2), a similar pattern of
political change occurred that
saw unstable democracies
replaced by nationalist
dictatorships, with significant
impacts on the wider history
of Europe, before returning
to democratic forms of
government.
The course will help develop
the skills and qualities
required for further education
or employment. It will help
