The college has signed up for a ClickView subscription which provides access to a huge range of TV shows, movies and video content for students and staff to use.

It gives access to TV shows that have been on TV in the past couple of weeks but it does also allow you to request TV shows and movies too. Providing ClickView can access them, they will make it available and send you a link to access it. Just as an example, you can (at the time of writing) watch this morning’s episode of Newsround from CBBC, watch all episodes of Frozen Planet, or the 2020 Sonic the Hedgehog film.

You can log in with your college Google account at this link – https://online.clickview.co.uk
