Dear students,
Due the Government’s announcement on Monday 4 January 2021, we will move to remote learning for the majority of our teaching and learning activities until at least Friday 12 February 2021. In light of this you will need to access your College email each day.
If you have an exam scheduled during this period and have not been told that it is cancelled, you should still presume you should attend your scheduled examination unless you are told otherwise. Any examinations will be conducted in a COVID secure environment.
We hope to be able to resume face-to-face classes as soon as possible. However, this is a changing situation and I ask for your patience at this time.
Until we are able to confirm otherwise, you are no longer required to attend face-to-face classes or work placements. For the courses you are studying, your tutors will guide you remotely.
You should continue to follow your existing timetable and attend sessions online/remotely as per your timetable. Your tutor will then guide you as to the activities you will be undertaking in that session.
Although the Coronavirus has now changed your learning to be delivered remotely, Blackburn College remains committed to helping you achieve your qualifications.
Open if you need us
Blackburn College remains open for children of keyworkers, students who are vulnerable and/or have an Education, Health and Care Plan and for a select number of courses, which train future critical workers. If this applies to you, you will be contacted by a member of our team.
Keeping in touch
It will be essential that you check your Blackburn College email account on a very frequent (at least daily) basis.
You will also need to access Moodle.
Please also check the College website on a regular basis, because this is where we will post any significant new information relevant to all students.
The next days
We do not know what further announcements may come from the Government in the days ahead.
However, I ask that you continue to follow Government advice during the days/weeks ahead and that you continue to look after yourself, and those around you.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Fazal Dad
Principal and Chief Executive
