Following the latest Government announcement on 23rd March, Brooklands College will be completely closing both campuses and there will be no access for staff and students.

Update: 20th March 2020

We can confirm that in line with Government guidance, there will be no access to the College site for the majority of our students from Monday 23 March as children and young people should be at home during this national closure period.

Government guidance is clear that if at all possible children should be at home during this national closure period.  However, for those parents working in critical sectors who cannot keep their children safe at home, education provision for those children will be prioritised.  Should parents/carers believe they are in this category, students may be able to access the Weybridge campus by prior arrangement during term time and should email remote.learning@brooklands.ac.uk (available from the 21st March) should they wish to do so.  Both the Ashford campuses will be closed during this period.

Further details will follow.
