Dear Principals and SENCos,

We hope you are keeping well and safe during these current times.

Due to the unprecedented global challenges caused by the Coronavirus, the Education Support Team wanted to take this opportunity to reassure you that the Northern Regional College remains open for business as usual, albeit currently through a remote and virtual capacity. We are very much still here to offer support to your students with regards to transition and progression on to further education.

We know that this time will be overwhelming and daunting for all your young people, especially those with a learning difficulty or disability, with regards to moving on from school. We have put together a pack to help answer any queries that they may have.

If this is something you know will be a benefit to any of your students, we would be grateful if you could share this with them or their parents directly, or your staff who support them. We are available to answer any queries you or your students may have regarding support via our email educationsupport@nrc.ac.uk. Alternatively, we can arrange a virtual meeting if you would prefer to discuss this further in person.

Wishing you all the best,

The Education Support Team

Q&A with Middletown CEO

The live sessions will host a maximum of 3000 delegates live and most sessions will be posted on social media the following day. Sessions marked ‘live only’ will not.

We are just thrilled that the volunteering commitments of our young people have been acknowledged in this way by the awarding body. Our young people have not only been developing their own skills and physical fitness, they have been helping those in their local community. They are a credit to us!

This weeks song has been chosen and on Thursday night at 8.00 pm we would like to you to play 'You've Got a Friend' to show your appreciation for all NHS and Key workers. Download your part and have a go. A link to a backing track is provided if you wish to use it. This will be the last piece that will be uploaded as the Thursday night clap is now stopped in many areas but if you are still doing it why don't you go back and choose your favorites to perform again.

Please find attached information on Careers Advice for both pupils and parents.
