All college sites are closed today (Friday 9 January 2026) due to snow and icy conditions.

Students should check their class Microsoft Teams for college work set by their teachers and to access their learning.

If you are due to attend a work placement today, please contact your placement provider directly – attend only if it’s open and safe to travel.

New arrangements for exams planned for today will be communicated to students as soon as possible.

The college expects to re-open as normal on Monday 12 January, once weather conditions have improved. If this changes, a further update will be posted here.
