Charters Adult Education in Sunningdale, Berkshire UK

Enrolments at Charters Adult Education courses have fallen over the last few years and were particularly low in Summer 08 and Autumn term 09. There are a number of reasons for this, not least the recession and high fuel costs which have affected a number of learners. However the Borough and the School cannot afford to support provision which is projected to make a loss if the current situation continues, as the majority of the classes are publicly funded. Added to this the learning co-ordinator has resigned for various reasons. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Lucy for her hard work in keeping the provision running over the last few years.

Sadly it has been decided that there will be no classes run at Charters School in Summer term 09. The Borough is doing all it can to support existing learners and is actively seeking alternative venues for those learners who would like to continue. South Ascot Village School has already offered to host the popular language courses. There will be a new head teacher at Charters in September and the possibility of providing learning opportunities at the School in a different format will be explored in the near future.
