All college campuses will be closed again tomorrow (Friday 2 March).

We hoped to be able to reopen but the continuing disruption caused by the weather means we have decided it is safest to stay closed. An amber weather warning remains in place, schools will be shut, and roads and public transport may still be disrupted. Our food outlets won’t receive any deliveries until Monday so we can’t provide full catering. We’re also not certain if our campuses can be kept fully cleared and gritted, with further snow possible.

We don’t close the college lightly but hopefully you understand why we’re doing it. It’s important you can get to college safely to study in the best possible conditions on campus, but at the moment that just isn’t possible.

We should be open again on Monday morning so, unless you hear otherwise, please come in as normal. We’ll send out another update on Sunday anyway to confirm.

As classes aren’t on at the moment, it’s important that you continue with self-directed study, to catch up on work or to get ahead of your revision. Moodle is available so please use the study resources available.

If you’re an apprentice, please remember to check in with your employer.

Keep an eye on the college’s social media and website for further info if needed. If the weather calms down over the next few days as we expect, we’ll see you back at college on Monday.

Stay warm and safe for now.
