College Announcement – Weather Update

Early College Closure – Monday 5 January at 3pm.

Due to current weather conditions and the forecast for the remainder of the day, Macclesfield College will close early today, Monday 5 January.

College transport has been contacted and the following arrangements are in place:

  • All College buses will be on site from 3.00pm to collect students who normally travel home on these services
  • The Leek bus will arrive at 4.10pm

There will be staff on site until 5.00pm, so if students are unable to be collected earlier, they should not worry.

This decision has been taken to prioritise the safety of our students and staff. Please take extra care when travelling home.

Online Learning – Tuesday 6 January

On Tuesday 6 January, the College will move to online learning for all courses due to low temperatures and the forecast weather conditions. A significant number of our staff and students travel considerable distances to attend College and this approach helps ensure everyone’s safety.

Please check ItsLearning for updates and instructions from your teachers. If you were due to sit an exam in College on this day please do not worry, your exam will be rescheduled and further information will be shared in due course.

Please note that all adult classes are postponed and will now start next week.

All announcements will be published on the Macclesfield College website, with regular updates on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
If no further updates are posted, please assume the College will reopen as usual on Wednesday 7 January.

Thank you for your understanding.
