Report from Horizons Community Learning Project, Hastings
by Jane Ripley
My students and I have really enjoyed the GCSE Science course, because it is so accessible to adult learners. I teach the course at the Horizons Project in Hollington, Hastings. This is an outreach centre for adults who have missed out on the more traditional educational routes, for a variety of reasons. We provide a creche, and staff and students are very supportive of each other.
My group all entered for the Foundation Tier, and in the first module exam in January six students out of seven of the class gained a C, with two of them getting full marks.
These are all adults with children and plenty of life issues to cope with, so I am very proud of them.
