Holy Cross College has decided, after careful consideration, to discontinue our presence on X (formerly known as Twitter). Read:

We are on Bluesky and will continue connecting with our community in meaningful ways. Follow us: Facebook @HolyCrossCollegeBury Instagram @holy_cross_bury Linkedin @holy-cross-college-&-university-centre YouTube @holycrosssixthformcollege Bluesky @holycrossbury.bsky.social

We will retain the account to prevent any misuse of our identity, but we are discontinuing any activity on here. By making this conscious decision, we join a growing number of colleges and universities in seeking digital spaces that better reflect our mission and values.

Being an inclusive Catholic sixth form college – with a proud tradition dating back to 1878, when the Daughters of the Cross of Liège first formed a school on this site – which welcomes students and staff of all faiths, this mission is at the heart of all we do.

We feel the platform no longer aligns with our core mission to develop our students intellectually to achieve outstanding results, as well as developing them spiritually and morally, so they can become valued and valuable citizens in an ever-changing world.

Great to hear @kristianj23's report on @BBCr4today this morning. It's insulting to hear DfE's response that its review is bringing certainty to the sector when we don't know what courses we can offer to vocational students *next year*. #protectstudentchoice
