As things currently stand, we’re expecting our new term to start in September. However, we are being guided by the Government’s advice, so this may change over the next few months.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we are temporarily adjusting our term dates for 2020/21. Start dates in September will vary slightly as we stagger the number of students coming into college. This is to create flexibility in the timetable and to support our social distancing measures. Students will be given their individual timetable at induction.
We have made changes to the academic year 2020/21 to make some extra weeks available for teaching and assessment by providing a two week Christmas holiday period (insert dates) with lessons running through May half term.
Term will start w/c 7 September for all students taking GCSE maths and English resits.
