January Exams Cancelled

From Thursday 7 Jan following government guidance and feedback from our students, we have decided to cancel all January exams, with the exception of the HE exams which will continue online. We will work with the exam Awarding Bodies to either offer later opportunities for students to take exams, or to calculate grades using alternative methods.

It is not yet clear how grades will be awarded, but it is imperative that all students fully engage with their learning as teachers will need assignments and evidence of progress to inform grades.  We are continuing to work very hard with all students to ensure we minimise the impact of this disruption to their education and online learning is available for all students in accordance with their timetables. 

In addition, those students who have a social worker, who are a looked after child, who have an Education, Health and Care Plan, or who do not have suitable access to online learning from home, may come into College to do their work. 

If you have any queries please contact your tutor or teacher.

Student return in January

From Monday 4 January, in line with the latest government guidance, Croydon College will be open only for those students who have allocated social workers, are categorised as looked after children, have an Education, Health and Care Plan (‘EHCP’),  or do not have access to online learning at home.   

Online learning will commence on Tuesday 5 January for all other students following their usual timetable. 

Until a full return to College is possible, students who would normally receive free meals at College, or bursary payments, will receive payments paid directly into their bank accounts. Registers will be taken for online, face to face classes, and for onsite independent learning.

For more information, please visit the government website here. Please click here for more information about home learning.

Face Coverings

From the 2 November 2020 (after half term) all staff and students are required to wear a face covering when they are moving around the College in communal and circulation space, with the exception of those who are exempt.
