Chaucer College / Canterbury

Covid-19 UPDATE: Following UK Government guidelines and as advised by English UK, Chaucer College has temporarily closed in order to help stop the spread of Covid-19. It is of course sad to have to close our doors but we hope the measures taken by the government will ensure the situation is resolved as quickly as possible.
