The government has announced some measures in response to the new coronavirus variant, Omicron.



Face coverings must be worn in colleges and secondary schools in communal areas as well as on public transport and in shops.

The safety of our college community is our number one priority. Please follow the latest guidance and continue to wear a face covering in all communal areas when on campus unless you are exempt.

It is also important to take regular lateral flow tests, ideally twice-weekly, before attending college. Home testing kits are free of charge and can be picked up from our campus receptions.

The lateral flow tests should be used if you don't have Covid-19 symptoms. If you do have symptoms, please book a free PCR test immediately.
