You can do this by sending a text to 07860 022 842.

Your text should say SICK followed by a space and your College ID number, for example: SICK ABC12345678

If you are self-isolating type SELF followed by a space and your College ID number, for example: SELF ABC12345678

You will then receive an acknowledgement that the College has been informed of your absence shortly afterwards.

The college has subscribed to theComputerSchool.net where you can find a range of digital resources. It covers basic IT skills, tips for using Microsoft, Google and Adobe products, also cyber safety and programming courses.

It is a good starting point for developing skills in IT and learning different applications/software. This is available to both staff and students.
