Oldham College is open for Autumn Term.
We are looking forward to welcoming new and returning students – and we want everyone to be comfortable, happy and secure right from the start of the 2020/21 Academic Year.
We have put a range of important measures and rules in place to make sure that our sites are Covid-safe so that every student is safe and behaving responsibly to prevent the spread of the virus.
Please note – above all – that any student who has Coronavirus symptoms should not attend Oldham College. You should immediately get a test and inform your tutor as soon as possible.
Alun Francis, Oldham College Principal, has written letters explaining the steps we have taken to keep everyone safe – and the part that we are all expected to play.
Please click on the letter below relevant to you: whether you are a 16-18-year-old learner, parent or guardian, or adult learner.
Oldham College has completed a comprehensive Risk Assessment checklist for reopening. A wider set of processes and procedures are in place underneath this to manage the detail and keep everyone safe. You can view our Risk Assessment checklist here
