As we begin what is the most important term of the year for many students, with crucial exams and assessments approaching, we will continue to follow both the guidance from Welsh Government (as of Friday 15 April) and our local Incident Management Team.
As such, upon our return after Easter, the College will continue with its current Covid safety measures, which include:
I really hope you and your family are coping as well as possible during these incredibly strange and difficult times.
Whatever your circumstances, we all need to offer support and encouragement to one another to get through it. I know that your school is doing a great job in providing you with support, and is dedicated to the future aspirations of each and every one of its pupils.
For yourselves it is of course an even more important time with decisions needed about where to go next in your education and what path to take.
The announcement last week by the Minister for Education Kirsty Williams effectively means that we have now been given approval to put together a second plan for September based on 16–18 year old College students being physically present on campus.
It’s been three weeks since I last updated you on the progress the College is making on the range of challenges we are currently facing.
I would again wish to thank all of you for your continued engagement with your studies. Whilst staff are continuing to both teach and provide tutorial and pastoral support online, the response from you has been excellent and clearly will help prepare you for your next step, whatever that may be.
