Landing at Norwich and ATC Norwich CTR

Please forgive my lack of knowledge here!! I am an NPPL with only limited experience of flying in controlled airspace.

I'm planning a flight from Gloucester to Norwich next week in a PA28 and know that I will have to speak with ATC before entering the Norwich CTA and CTR. I'm happy to call ahead and let Norwich Radar (119.350) know of my intentions, but...

1. What do I ask for? At Gloucester, I would simply ask to join the circuit, but I guess that most of the traffic at Norwich is commercial (could be wrong there...!) and therefore not flying circuits.
2. I'm clearly not asking for a transit, but need to request permission to enter the zone. What's the official terminology?
3. Should I expect then to be transferred to Norwich Tower (124.250) or Norwich Director (128.325)?

Thanks, and sorry if I sound rather inexperienced...I am! I just want to get it right when I get there.

Adrian
