COVID-19 UPDATE 07.01.2021

COVID-19 and national restrictions meant we needed to quickly respond to a new way of delivery in prison education. Our teams have worked tirelessly to create workbooks and provide new ways of working so that we can continue to support our learners with access to education to enable them to achieve the best outcome they can. 

We are working closely with Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and Youth Custody Service (YCS) to create a COVID-safe programme of learning that has the health and safety of our learners and colleagues at its heart, just as other education settings are doing across the country. Health and safety is an area of critical importance to us and our central Group COVID team has been in continuous operation since the beginning of the pandemic managing and monitoring all risks and issues rigorously and consistently.

Two cyclists on the road

A team of Novus colleagues and friends from HMP Holme House are heading to Brussels to take part in First World War Centenary Celebrations.

The nine intrepid cyclists are taking on the First World War Centenary Cycle Challenge from 4 – 7 May to raise vital funds for the Royal British Legion and Northumbria Blood Bikes. They will be accompanied by a support team of friends and colleagues from the Novus education department at HMP Holme House.

Starting in Ypres, the team will complete a three-day cycle challenge around sites of The Great War in Flanders and First World War battlefields, cemeteries and memorials. Taking in the last post at the Menin Gate, the team will lay three poppy wreaths and one of the party will say the Exoneration during the service.

Each day the team will cycle around 60-70km, reaching heights of up to 140 - 160m above sea level.

Learners and colleagues at HMP Holme House have been helping the team prepare for their challenge. They have designated a wall in The Business Enterprise Centre to the First World War Centenary Cycle Challenge and designed several booklets and quizzes around the theme. New cycling tops have been sourced and designed for this challenge.

We wish the team every success in their challenge and fundraising activity for the Royal British Legion and Northumbria Blood Bikes.
