The World Health Organisation has declared the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic a public health emergency of international concern.

Warnborough College takes the health and well-being of our students and staff very seriously, and are continuously monitoring the situation as it develops.

We wish to prepare for (and stymie) the possible spread of the virus.

As such, we have decided to take the following measures:

• From Wednesday, 18th March 2020, the College premises will be closed although we have asked our staff, teachers and colleagues to work or teach online, where possible, from their own homes.
• All onsite classes will be cancelled or replaced with online options with immediate effect.
• If you are studying at a Warnborough College learning centre, please contact the centre’s management team for more information about their policies.
• Colleagues and students who are at most risk from the coronavirus should immediately socially distance themselves from others, and contact their appropriate health bodies for assistance.

We ask that you bear with us during this difficult time if we are unable to respond to all requests immediately. Remote working has its advantages AND disadvantages.

Tests and Examinations

For those online students sitting for final examinations, the invigilator system will no longer be used during this period. All examinations will be moved to an online setting. If you are sitting for an online examination, you must have a good internet connection, a computer with a web browser, headphones and microphone (please do not use Bluetooth or other wireless microphones), and a form of government ID (e.g. passport or driving licence with a clear photograph and your details listed in English).  More details will be provided directly to examinees.

If you have specific enquiries, you can contact us.

Above all, keep safe!
