COVID Update 27/11/2020
Plymouth is to be placed into Tier 2 when full lockdown restrictions are lifted on December
2nd, according to the government website (November 26). For us, this means that we will be carrying on as we have been: following the 'hands, face, space' guidance from the government, and making
sure the students stay in their class bubbles whilst inside the college - this will be monitored very closely by staff and we encourage all students to do their part.
This update also means we need to limit having visitors and parents into the college; please
get in contact with us via phone or email and we will be able to arrange something with you.
COVID Update 01/11/2020
Training providers are exempt from the Government imposed 4 week lockdown starting from
Thursday 5th November. For SWAW & Aspire2Live it is ‘business as usual’ and we look forward to welcoming all our students back on Monday 3rd November. Keeping everyone safe remains our top
