Bolton College
BOLTON College is ensuring its students and the wider community continue to learn through the pandemic. The college, part of the University of Bolton Group, has helped students overcome barriers so they are not left behind while putting on free courses for the community and putting together special e-magazines full of tips to help people through these challenging times. Unable to invite Year 11s into campus for its annual Open Event, the college understood the necessity for young people to have access to resources that will help them make informed decisions about their future. They therefore created a Virtual Open Event, containing over 40 videos. These include a whistle stop campus tour, as well as videos for all curriculum areas, with information on all of the Study Programmes and Apprenticeships on offer for the new academic year.
A RANGE of free courses are available to help families that are struggling with lockdown learning. Free, friendly and fun family learning courses, from the Family Learning Team - part of Community Learning and Skills, will help guide parents through children s schoolwork, suggest home-schooling ideas or ways to brush up on maths and English skills. They said: Lockdown means home-schooling is back, but help is at hand for parents and families in Cumbria. One parent said: “It was good to meet the tutor first and find out about what to expect. You get sent a link, so I logged on and was surprised, as I recognised a couple of other parents and I soon got to know the others. The tutor was really friendly and understanding. We were all a bit nervous about using Zoom - it’s free too, so you don’t need to buy anything. It is quite easy and they give you lots of help.”
