This year, due to the unprecedented times, we have considerably more learners sitting the November resit exams than ever before. In addition, there is an added need to provide a COVID-secure environment, so we will be using more areas across the College to facilitate these exams than we ordinarily would.

As such, there is a need for English and Maths teachers to support the Exams Team with the resits, so we are suspending English and maths teaching from Monday 2nd to Monday 9th November inclusive – with the exception of Apprentices and part time adults.

Please note, the delivery of vocational lessons will continue, albeit with expected absences where learners are sitting the exams.
