Will KSS Halls of Residences be open in September 2020?

KSS look forward to welcoming back our returning students, and those who are moving in with us for the first time, to our Greenfield Crescent Halls of Residence, and our new residence Edgbaston Studios, which will be open this autumn. We are confident that we can deliver a safe environment for students and staff to ensure our residents are well supported and kept safe, minimising transfer risk whilst being able to ensure that every resident receives individualised support. 

Can I walk from Halls of Residence to MPW Birmingham and to shops and restaurants?

Yes – our Greenfield Crescent Halls of Residence is next door to MPW Birmingham, and our Edgbaston Studios halls are within easy walking distance of MPW Birmingham, and many shops, restaurants and parks.  

Is KSS continuing to confirm Guardianship arrangements?

Yes – KSS is continuing to confirm Guardian arrangements for students needing this service.  More information may be found on the KSS website. 

Will events take place at the Halls of Residence?

We will have a schedule of enrichment activities for our residents and these will be planned to follow UK government guidance. It may be necessary for some of these to be online only but, if this is the case, we will work with our residents to ensure these are still fun and enjoyable. 

Will the Halls of Residence be open at half term and Christmas?

Greenfield Crescent and Edgbaston Studios will remain open during the 2020/21 half terms and Easter break.  Currently our Halls of Residence are not open during the Christmas period; we will review this arrangement after the start of the autumn term depending on quarantine requirements in the UK.

Will I still be charged full accommodation fees at KSS Halls of Residence if I am unable to come to MPW Birmingham for in-person teaching in September?

All student bookings with KSS for the 2020/21 academic year have been given a discounted rate and will pay no rent for the first 2 months, with accommodation fees being payable from 1st November. Any student arriving later than the 1st November, until the 4th January will be charged on a pro rata basis from the date of arrival.

Am I able to visit your Halls of Residence during Summer 2020?

At present, we are unable to receive visitors at our Halls, as we undertake our regular renovations, but as usual expect to be able to do so later in August 2020, and will update these pages when visits are available.
