Some buildings around Notts will remain open for online learning support and keyworkers’ children.
Information for students, parents, staff and visitors Updated Friday 20th March 2020 at 2:24pm
In order to protect the wellbeing of our whole College community, we announced yesterday that we are moving to online and remote learning for our students.
We paused all teaching for the remainder of this week so that teachers could have time to migrate their learning materials online and make printed versions for those with no online access from home.
Next week we will keep some open to help facilitate the online learning of those students with key worker parents and those who fall into a number of vulnerable categories outlined by the Government.
Those campuses will be Stapleford (for Supported Learning students only), Adams, and Clarendon. They will be open to those of our students who fall into a number of vulnerable categories outlined by the Government and those of our students with key worker parents. They will be open from 0900 to 1500.
Our nursery provision at Clarendon will remain open for those children we’ve been asked to continue to care for.
Demand for face-to-face teaching for vulnerable students and those of key worker families will be assessed at the end of next week and we’ll revisit plans as we head into the Easter break.
Our campus at Maid Marian Way has already closed and our campuses at 25 Stoney Street, High Pavement, Basford, London Road, parts of Ruddington and Highfields will close from tomorrow evening. Our Beeston offices will be open for staff only.
Some of our staff will be impacted by school and nursery closures and will be required to remain at home to care for their children, and work from home, if they can. The College will ensure all of our learners can continue to be supported by our staff, whether they are working remotely, or not.
Thank you to all staff and students who continue to show resilience during this difficult period and continue to show compassion and care for each other.
A spokesperson said:
‘Yesterday (19 March) we were notified that one of our teaching colleagues at Maid Marian Way had tested positive for Coronavirus and is currently in hospital. This is upsetting news and our thoughts at this time are with them, their family and friends.
‘We are working with PHE England and we are taking all precautions necessary and as such have taken the decision to close the Maid Marian Way campus a day early and until further notice as part of our plans to move to remote and online learning next week as well as meeting the Government’s desire to provide teaching and support to vulnerable students and the children of key workers.’
