WE’RE BACK

We re-opened our doors on Monday 14th September 2020 to our new Construction Skills Village at High Eastfield Farm, Scarborough.

It has been a difficult year and a busy time re-locating, but the team are excited to welcome our apprentices and learners back to site and offer face to face delivery (adhering to Covid-19 guidance).

Our new site is bigger and better, but please watch the space as the High Eastfield Farm development progresses throughout the coming year.

If you are a partner organisation and would like to arrange a tour of our new site, please get in touch with a member of the team.

The future is looking bright!

Covid-19 Update

We hope you are keeping safe and well.

Following on from the Prime Minister’s announcement on Sunday 10 May 2020 we will continue delivering our remote service.  Our priority is to ensure that all our learners have the best opportunity to successfully complete their studies and continue with their next steps and future plans. Clearly the extension to this delivery model will require enhanced support and our staff are committed to providing everything we possibly can for our learners during these difficult times.

We will continue to work closely with learners, parents, employers and key partners to navigate through step one of the road map, following government guidelines. Our key priority is the safety and well-being of all our learners and staff as we continue to move forward in these challenging times.

As soon as we have any further developments we will consult with learners, parents, employers and key partners.

#StayHomeSaveLives

Education continues at the Construction Skills Village

Like everyone else we have been deciding how best to continue doing what we do in the best way possible. As an education establishment, the health and wellbeing of our learners, our staff and our partners is always our top priority. 

We are closely monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation as it unfolds and are continuing to adapt, following the guidance issued by the government and health authorities to help keep everyone as safe as possible.

As a result, we have made the decision to move to remote learning for all our learners from Monday 23rd March 2020. Our learners will be provided information from their Trainer to access support and resources to enable them to continue learning. 

If you have any additional training booked in with our partner CSV Training over the coming weeks this is currently still planned as normal.  

We appreciate that this decision may cause uncertainty and inconvenience. However, the personal safety of learners and staff, and of those closest to them, is of utmost importance.

This page and social media channels will be kept-to-date with the latest information. If you have any further questions call Melissa Gallimore, Operations Manager on 07506 745808

Thanks,

The Construction Skills Village
