20 MARCH, Principal Paul Britton, "Three Key Messages"

COVID-19 UPDATE

 There are a few things to update you on:

No college opening from Tuesday 24th March
We have now got clear plans in place for all students to work remotely, including those students who are vulnerable or who are the children of critical workers. This means that we will no longer be opening the college site from Tuesday. We are all still working though so do get in touch if you need any help.

 Remote working communication
Working remotely will require us to communicate in a different way. There are lots of aspects to this:
The main place for updates relating to college closure, the development of the college’s response to the outbreak and any other college wide news will be the college website. This will be reviewed on a daily basis with any updates on by 3pm. These updates will flow from the website through our social media channels.

From Friday we will cease to take calls on the main college answer phone. Callers will receive a recorded message that directs them to the following email inboxes:
Contact to individual members of staff will be through email or through the tools in Parent Portal
Tutors have been issued with college mobile phones so that they can phone home and take calls. These phones should only be used for serious issues related to students, general enquiries should go through the mailbox system outlined above.

Awards Evening 2022 Guest Panel

At our Leaver’s Awards Ceremony at the beginning of the year, we had an opportunity to catch-up some of our alumni. Former Wyke students, Katy Robinson, Jonathon Ellis and Matty Pinder, alongside Professor Becky Huxley-Binns (Pro-Vice Chancellor, University of Hull), were invited to discuss the challenges associated with success. Matty is currently in his second year at the University of Oxford reading Law, whilst Katy and Jonathon have recently been commended for their achievements, named as recipients of the Humber “Top 30 under 30” business award. All of our panel provided interesting insights on their professional journey and revealed that even “failure” can be positive by overcoming obstacles and pushing you in a rewarding direction.
