Covid-19 safe re-opening from 9 March 2021

We will be re-opening the college from Tuesday 9 March in the following ways:

From 9 March

  • 14-16 learners
  • Discreet learners in SEND provision
  • HE with practical elements
  • Continuing with those students classified as vulnerable and already accessing the college campuses

From 15 March

  • 16-18 learners identified as Level 1 priority
  • Adults identified as Level 1 priority
  • Apprentices
  • Delayed assessments

As we re-open our sites we will deliver a mix of online and face-to-face learning.

Staff Development Day Monday 22 March

Please note, the College will be closed to all students on 22 March for a staff development day. For students who have already returned to face-to-face learning, college will reopen the following day.

Attending college

To support the safe re-opening of college, anyone physically attending our buildings must wear a face covering in all areas of the college (classrooms and public areas).

Eating zones will remain set at 2m social distancing to allow for staff and students to eat and drink.

We are implementing a charter to help with and reinforce the re-opening measures, which will be distributed around college and sent to students.

The charter is here.

Testing

To make sure everyone remains safe on campus, we will be running a testing service as per the government guidance.  We expect everyone on campus to have periodic Lateral Flow Device tests. By taking a test you will be helping to keep you and your family safe. It will also help to stop the virus spreading and ensure we can return to face-to-face learning as soon as possible.

Testing will be available for the first two weeks of re-opening at the following times and locations. There is no need to make an appointment. After this time, staff and students will be provided with home testing kits:

DHB – Bronte Lecture Theatre – 7.30am – 3.30pm Daily (Mon-Fri)

Lister – Gallery – 7.30am -3:30pm Daily (Mon -Fri)

Trinity Green – Refectory – 7.30am – 12pm Daily

CTS, Little Germany – 1pm – 4pm Monday – Thursday

For the week commencing Monday 15 March, we will be opening our test facilities for additional hours to support our adult students attending evening classes:
