Waltham Forest College - Up and running again

2012-02-29T08:54:00.000Z

The pool at Waltham Forest College is up and running again. The boilers have been working fine since yesterday afternoon. The pool temperature rising fast and should be back to normal by this afternoon.

Tuesday 28th lessons cancelled - Boiler saga continues

2012-02-28T11:50:00.002Z

We will have to cancel lessons this evening (Tuesday 28th) as the pool temperature will not be high enough for Lessons. NB ELT training will go ahead.

The boiler was fixed yesterday and the pool temperature was rising, however it cut out again over night and, though it is now working again, the rate at which the water temperature is rising will not have brought the water temperature up high enough for children's lessons by this evening.

We are very sorry about the cancellation. The College staff are working as hard as they can to fix the problem permanently as the boiler concerned provides all the heating for the College - not just the swimming pool.

If you would like to get alerts via text message we recommend that you follow us on Twitter and get our Tweets sent by text. This is very straightforward to do even if you do not currently have a Twitter account - see the link on the left hand side of our home page for details.

Boiler working again at Waltham Forest College

2012-02-27T09:19:00.000Z

The engineers have managed to get the boiler working again at Waltham Forest College. So, barring any unforeseen events, the sessions on Monday evening will be running as normal.

Waltham Forest College - Pool closed until Monday

2012-02-25T11:25:00.000Z

We have just heard that the pool at Waltham Forest College will be closed until Monday - so all Sunday sessions are cancelled.

Boiler missfuntion over night - pool will not open this morning - Saturday 25th

2012-02-25T07:28:00.001Z

We have just got into the College expecting the heating to be on. Unfortunately it is not, so sessions today will have to be cancelled..

We assume that the boiler tripped out during the night and we are trying to get hold of College staff.

Apologies for all this disruption.

Boiler working again

2012-02-24T23:08:00.000Z

We have been informed by Waltham Forest College that the boiler is now working again. Sessions tomorrow, Saturday 25th February, should go ahead as normal.

Boiler problems at Waltham Forest College not resolved

2012-02-24T14:12:00.000Z

The problems with the boilers at Waltham Forest College have not yet been sorted out and we will therefore be cancelling the lessons this evening (Friday 24th).

Engineers will be working through the night if necessary and hope to have the heating up and running for tomorrow morning. Please check this site for updates.

Waltham Forest College - Boiler breakdown - Sessions cancelled Thursday 23rd Feb

2012-02-23T13:30:00.000Z

All sessions this evening at Waltham Forest College have been cancelled. This is due to the main boiler for the College breaking down leaving the entire building without heating.

The College have several teams of engineers trying to fix the breakdown as soon as possible but it is very unlikely they will have the problem resolved by this evening. We have therefore decided to cancel the sessions. Refunds and/or credit notes will be organised.
