Shrewsbury Colleges Group, which has campuses at London Road, the English Bridge and the Welsh Bridge, is preparing to welcome back students on Monday.

It comes as Education Secretary Gavin Williamson today told MPs that primary schools in England will not be able to welcome all pupils back for a month before the summer holidays.

Shrewsbury Colleges Group principal James Staniforth, said: “Further to the recent update from government concerning the wider opening of colleges, Shrewsbury Colleges Group will be working toward a phased wider opening.

“We have looked carefully at which students need to be supported through attending college, rather than planning for most students to return.
