Learning around life
Most adults who join Second Chance Learning are fitting it around work, caring or both. In 2023-24 we added weekend classes and let learners start in any week rather than waiting for a new term.
A crèche changes everything
At our Eastfield centre a free crèche now runs alongside every daytime class. Enrolment from parents doubled in the first term after it opened.
Below target, and why
700 adults completed a course, 14.8% more than the year before but short of our target of 800. Two tutor vacancies at Northgate meant classes were cancelled for much of the autumn. We have since moved to a shared pool of tutors across centres, so one vacancy no longer closes a class.
