The cleaning company will be on campus from Friday 13th March and on Monday (16th) and Tuesday (17th) of next week, with the view to reopening on Wednesday 18th March. This will be confirmed in due course.

Therefore, no staff or students are required to attend college. The college will keep students updated throughout this period via the website and our social media channels.

It is important to note that this is a precautionary measure as this is not a confirmed coronavirus case.

As a further precaution the college has taken the decision to postpone the Careers Fair on Wednesday 18th March. The new date will be announced in due course.

In addition we are advising that anyone who attended our open event on Wednesday 11th March has no additional cause for concern. The precautionary steps taken to close the college were implemented on Thursday as this is when a learner returned from a category 2 country.
