Important School Update

*Please read full post*

As a result of the ongoing weather conditions alongside the continued industrial action of the road service and to ensure the Health and Safety of students and staff, Cross and Passion College will be closed tomorrow Friday 19th January 2024 for all students EXCEPT those sitting the BTEC exam which will go ahead if pupils can make it in for 9.15am.

This decision has not been taken lightly and we regret any inconvenience that this may cause.
