  • School Term Dates for the School Years 2017/18 and 2018/19

    Norfolk County Council remains responsible for setting term and holiday dates for Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools, while Governing Bodies of Foundation, Voluntary Aided School and Academies are resonsible for setting their own term dates. In practice most of the schools in Norfolk adopt a single calendar. The Regional Term Dates Group, which met earlier this term, continues to share the view that a coordinated approach to minimise impact on families and transport is... More

Many of you already use the service to down load e-books, while... More

  • Budget and Services 2015-2018

    Last year through our Putting People First strategy, we asked for your views on our proposals to save £189 million over three years from 2014/17. As a result of that consultation, we have already agreed £40m of savings for 2015/16. But our latest forecast means we have to find a further £12.9m in savings for 2015/16.

  • Norfolk Putting People First Budget Consultation for 2014-17

    Norfolk County Council predicted an estimated funding shortfall of at least £189 million over the next three years unless it actedto change things. This was because if things continued as they had, the combination of increasing council costs, increased demand for services, inflation and a cut in Government funding meant we would need to spend at least £189 million more than we can expect to receive in income.
