Welcome back students June 2021

Welcome to all the students and lecturers returning back at the Academy. We are on our 2nd week back and let us continue to keep ourselves and others safe by following the COVID-19 preventions in and around the building. This can be done by wearing masks and practicing social distancing, as well as taking COVID-19 tests on a regular basis. We have 2 more weeks to go before summer vacation, so lets all make good use of the face to face lessons and resources we have in the academy.

Stay safe everyone!

Summer Semester  : Face-to-Face Lessons Resume

We are delighted to announce that face-to-face teaching will start again this month on 7 June for weekday students and 12 June for weekend students. Delivery will be blended, with Tuesday and Sunday lessons continuing online. The Academy has carried out an extensive risk assessment for COVID-19. Classrooms are socially distanced, with the wearing of masks mandatory unless exempt for health reasons. Breaktimes are staggered so that classes can operate in bubbles. The Academy requests that students carry out a Lateral Flow COVID-19 test before and after classes, and results must be logged on the Academy’s portal. The Academy is well- ventilated and hand-sanitising stations can be found throughout.

Important information about Lateral Flow Testing (LFT):

All students and staff are strongly encouraged to do Lateral Flow Testing (LFT)which will help all of us to protect each other. Although the government regulations are easing down the restrictions, all of us must still be alert and extremely cautious not to contribute to the spread of the Covid-19. The test takes only 5 minutes to do and will definitely protect especially our vulnerable peers and colleagues against the virus. As it can be understood from the details given below, the tests are quite easy to obtain, apply and get the results in just 30 mins.

All the staff                >       every 3-4 days
All of the students    >       Weekday Groups (every Sunday & Tuesday
evenings)
