Monday 19 September - National Bank Holiday
I know that for many of us Her Majesty has been a constant for all of our lives. Her devotion to service and commitment to the greater good is something that resonates strongly with the values that City Lit embodies. Her death is a huge moment for the country and undoubtedly the end of an era.
As you will be aware the funeral for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be held on Monday 19th September. The Department for Education has advised that all education settings should be closed on this day and considering this we have made the following decisions:
- City Lit will be closed on Monday 19th September for the Queen’s funeral which will be a Bank Holiday. All classes, in-person and online, will not run.
- We will look to defer the start date of courses where possible and reschedule classes due to run on that day. You will receive further information from the relevant department regarding your course and the revised timetable.
We want to assure you that colleagues are working to make necessary changes to take account of the closure of the college on the 19th September.
I appreciate that you may have questions for us about the implications for your course, please be assured that you will be contacted by the relevant department with further information about your course as soon as we possibly can.
