East Norfolk’s core values represent the guiding principles of the College. They support the delivery of their mission and will drive the direction of the College’s leadership. They believe that outstanding performance cannot be achieved unless they operate by the same values.
The College Governors undertook a review of its Mission in June 2012. Following that strategic review, the College is undertaking a process of consultation with students, staff, and stakeholders on the following set of core values to underpin our work:
- They promote excellence in order to provide our students with the best possible opportunities to equip them for their future. An ethos of reflective and shared good practice will underpin a culture of high aspirations, high standards, and high achievement which is highly valued by students and the communities they serve.
- They value our students, staff, and governors and their talent and within a framework of support will nurture each student to develop his/her personal potential.
- They embrace diversity and promote equality of opportunity within a framework of mutual respect.
- They adhere to high ethical and professional standards in staff and students’ work and relationships. They’re committed to working hard and promoting equity and fairness.

Why you picked EN
I picked EN because of its massive range and variety of courses they offer, many of which I was interested in. There were many courses I have never heard of or even knew you could take these certain subjects as a course. I also liked the amount of support they can provide you if you need any help whether it's for your courses or for yourself, there are staff who are always here to help. EN is also a lot closer to my house compared to my High School, I went to Notre Dame High School in Norwich, so it was nice to be able to go somewhere closer to home. Although Lowestoft College is just a 5-minute walk away from my house, I still found EN was the better college for me as my brother attended EN before me and he told me his experiences and how much he enjoyed it.
What subjects are you interested in?
Aside from the courses, I am already doing (Performing Arts (acting), Creative Media (TV and film) and Graphics Communication), the other subjects which interest me the most are:
- E-Sports
-Games Design
