Christ's College, Cambridge, main gate on St Andrew's Street

We're very much hoping that there will be less content for this Covid-19 disruptions page for our 2022 entry offer holders than for the last couple of years! Anything we need to say about Covid-19 disruptions/arrangements, we'll set out here, however.

At the time of sending offers (Jan 2022) we're aware that current circumstances and arrangements vary around the world. If you experience a period of lockdown or isolation, or if your teaching is disrupted by staff absences etc., we encourage you to keep learning as calmly as you can. In every case remember that sixth form not only gets you grades, but also prepares you for the transition to university. Your current work is the foundation that you will be building on as a university student- it is all very important and valuable so even with disruptions, we encourage you to do what you can to keep your motivation up and keep working hard even if you're having to do so with more independence than normal. Pay attention to looking after yourself and those around you too - please get proper sleep, eat well, get enough exercise and keep in touch with friends and family even if only remotely.
 

Updates box
January 2022 - the Christ's Admissions team is currently working from home. This is no problem - we can offer service as normal from home! Please do not post anything to us, however - these days everything is done electronically.

Please keep a record / log of disruption

Depending on how things pan out, we may need to ask you questions later in the year about Covid-19 disruption. As offer holders we therefore encourage you to continue to keep a record of how your education is affected by the pandemic.

For all periods of not attending school or your normal teachers not being able to teach you, please ensure that you keep your own written record of the actual disruption (including exact dates). Disruption might include, but is not limited to, periods of self-isolation, lockdown in your country, disruptive teacher absences, school closures and disruptions to or cancellation of mocks or actual exams you were due to take.

Please also keep a log of what teaching & learning alternatives (if any) are provided by your school. Please note online learning resources or teaching provided, dates available etc, and any particular challenges. Many thanks!

 

Exams / assessment

We do our best to monitor what's happening around the world, but if you're an international student, please keep us updated with any changes / disruptions to your exams in case it's something we're not yet aware of. We will be aware if there are any changes / disruptions to UK exams.
