Coronavirus update
Dear students and parents,
Our priority is our staff and students. We are taking temporary measures to address concerns about the current Coronavirus COVID-19 to protect everybody’s health and wellbeing, while ensuring that learning can continue. After following advice and guidance from government and official health organisations (National Health Service (NHS) and Public Health England (PHE) , we are making changes from 18/3/20 at 1pm. We are expecting to return to normal classroom learning after Easter (w/c 20 April).
We will be facilitating the continuation of all learning electronically using Google Classroom and other digital platforms. Our Easter booster sessions will still be running online.
These changes affect Leeds Sixth Form College only.
Park Lane Campus remains open at this time. Student progress will be monitored closely and continually reviewed. This is a significant change to make quickly, so please bear with us while we work through any glitches.
Please be aware that all materials are geared towards the final examinations including AS, AL and GCSE. There will be tests upon return to sixth form, to ensure all facilitated learning has been completed. Support staff will be monitoring student activity, connectivity and e-enrichment.
We have established central dedicated email helpdesks to answer any questions or concerns about teaching, learning and wellbeing. We will also be circulating a regular bulletin via email.
