We will keep this page updated with latest developments regarding Coronavirus, please check back regularly.

Update: 21st October 2020

We can confirm that there has been a confirmed case of COVID-19 relating to a staff member of our community and that we collaborated in full with Public Health England on 21.10.2020 and have implemented all of the precautionary measures and communications that it has asked us to. This is the fourth confirmed case of Coronavirus that affects an individual who has an association with the College, since the virus was first officially recognised by government in early 2020.

We would reassure all students, parents and guardians that we have already contacted all individuals that Public Health England has required to self-isolate as a precautionary measure and that students who have not received this notification are not considered to have had sufficient proximity or duration with the individual in question or to the locational bubble they were based at to be at any additional risk of contracting the virus and should continue to attend college.

We would encourage all staff and students to remain vigilant however and to isolate and seek a test if they do start to develop COVID specific symptoms.
