Welcome
Welcome to the Northern Lights website.
Northern Lights is a consortium of educational providers made up of:
- City College, Norwich
- Eagit (Engineering Training Provider)
- Open Academy
- Sewell Park College
- Sprowston Community High School
- Thorpe St. Andrew School
Through our combined resources we aim to unrivalled educational opportunities to our students. Our vision is to deliver world-class learning opportunities to the young people of Norwich.
Norwich is a thriving city and a national economic growth point, yet too many of the young people of North Norwich do not benefit from this prosperity. Significant numbers are leaving education without the skills that the knowledge economy of the future demands, and still more are suffering from a paucity of ambition. We want to change this. Drawing on the specialist strengths of our partners, we plan to offer a much richer – and more attractive - learning experience than has been available before in Norwich.
We can guarantee every learner:
- High quality, committed staff – with sector-based knowledge - thoroughly trained to deliver Diplomas in innovative and engaging ways
- Strong support from our employers in providing stimulating work placements and 'real world' contexts
- A modern learning environment with the latest technology, a virtual learning environment and 'live' work settings
- Effective and impartial guidance to help progression within education or into skilled employment
- Support and assistance to address individual learning needs
- High expectations from staff about students' abilities, commitment and capacity for hard work
- The opportunity to find - and fulfil - their potential
