Activate Learning colleges closing on Monday 19 September for HM The Queen’s funeral

Following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, it has been announced that Her Majesty’s funeral will take place on Monday 19 September.

Monday 19 September will be a national bank holiday.

This will allow everyone to have the opportunity to pay their respects to Her Majesty and commemorate Her reign, while marking the final day of the period of national mourning.

We can now confirm that all our colleges will be closed to staff, students and visitors during that day to allow our communities to mourn her passing and reflect on her extraordinary achievements.

If any of our students require support, please speak to Student Support either before or after the closure.

Our colleges will reopen on Tuesday 20 September.
