Dear students,
Due to the recent emergency measures from the Government concerning COVID-19, Oxford House premises will remain closed from tomorrow until further notice.
As we are sure you understand, this is to protect our students and staff and to help slow the spread of the virus.
The good news is you will be able to continue your classes with your teacher online as of Monday 16th March. Further details have been sent via email.
We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Please stay safe, healthy and happy during this challenging time.
