SPS Life 2020
Things will be a bit different this year and there's A LOT of information to take in about how we're delivering your studies while making sure all students and staff are kept safe and healthy.
To make sure you have all the information about health and safety on campus, and how we'll support you in your studies, we'll include everything on these pages. Please keep checking here as guidance may change, so we'll make sure they're up to date with the latest info.

We've made some changes to our home - the Chrystal Macmillan Building. Find out what to expect next time you visit and how we're keeping our School community safe and healthy:
360 tour of CMB
