Opening of the New Building

Towards the end of last term communications was sent out along with the invitation to the Main Block Blessing on Monday May 20th. The RSVPs are due for the blessing on Monday 13 May.

This is a reminder of the arrangements for the initial days. There will be work from home days for students on Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st May. Students will be provided with work to complete at home or have tutorials at school.  Staff will provide details about this closer to the time. We will provide supervision for any students who are unable to work from home on these days.

Following the move staff will require time to settle into the new spaces and prepare for learning and teaching. While we understand that this is an interruption to the term, and we apologise for that, we are concerned that there are system and process risks associated with the completion of the final stage of the move happening in a much shorter time frame over a weekend.  We are keen to make sure that we are fully prepared as we make this transition.
