New College Lanarkshire has requested an further extension for pupils currently attending college.

This additional time will allow them to complete outstanding work and maximise the pupil’s potential to achieve.

The final day of attendance will be 28 May 2021.
Where appropriate we will confirm when pupils complete early and no longer need to attend. Transport is in place and will collect pupils as normal.

For those who have attended First Steps in Lanark, this programme will not run.

This might run again in June to allow pupils to complete outstanding work.

Arrangements will be confirmed as soon as Youth Employability have confirmed this with the school.

The Youth Employability Service; ‘My Brighter Future’ (Education Services) provides work based learning opportunities/qualifications in the senior phase.

My Brighter Future 2021-22    Programmes start in August 2021.

We are delighted to be welcoming back all pupils into the school building in line with the Scottish Government guidance and advice on Monday 19th April 2021.

This is a welcome step towards us getting back to normality.

A number of measures will remain in place and I outline a summary of how the school will look and feel from next week below.

There will be a virtual assembly on Monday morning to welcome all pupils back to school and run through the key points outlined in this letter.

As the Covid restrictions start to lift we are planning the return of more of the Gradu8 courses.
It is important to note that not all Gradu8 courses will return.
The table below gives you details of what will return.
These courses will be returning to New College Lanarkshire for face-to-face delivery week beginning the 19th April

We anticipate the return will be for a period of 2 weeks to complete the remaining outstanding work, with a provisional programme completion date of the end of April. However, for Construction there may be additional weeks required and this will be based on assessing pupils progress when they return to College.

The current transport arrangements will be reinstated for the College returners.

All other classes will return online only for those that still have work to complete.
