Life at Leeds | 17 December
We’re here with the final newsletter of 2021.
We’ll be back in the New Year with a new look for our newsletter, until then we’ve rounded up the important things you’ll need for the winter break. In her video message, the VC also wishes you all a restful winter break and hopes that you can take time to recharge during the holidays.

In last week’s newsletter we shared what the UK moving into Plan B means for you. You can read our last newsletter here.
Our approach to teaching in January will remain the same, unless government guidance changes in the coming weeks. Please follow advice from your school on what this looks like for you.
