The Online Learning Continues at Sutton College

Sutton College students have risen to the challenge and continue to successfully study online in many areas of the curriculum.

Many classes that started year long qualifications made the switch over to online learning when restrictions came in to place due to Covid-19. Other classes have run online this Summer term, including numerous History Club sessions, Book-Keeping qualifications and Creative Writing for Wellbeing.

Feedback from students has been very positive with many learning new online IT skills and the College offers support to those for whom online learning is perhaps not the easiest of transitions.

Hair & Beauty student (BN) said: ‘We have a really bad time staying in lock down for to many weeks but we are lucky we have support from the teachers… I appreciate their support teaching us in this situation. .they continue giving us homework by email and discuss every Wednesday .I thank you so much for the help it’s not only the things that they teach us but is the time that make us busy in this stressed time situation’
