A number of parents responded to the college's post asking why the college will remain open if sports clubs are a Coronavirus risk.

A spokesperson for the college responded: "We are unable to close the school. But we are able to minimise the risk as much as we possibly can. Clubs and activities are in our control. School closure is not."
