With great sadness we have to let you know that ACRES will no longer be delivering adult learning courses after the summer. The ACRES Board has taken this very difficult decision due to the increasing financial challenges that ACRES faces as a small provider in the context of the current cost of living crisis and a changed adult learning environment post-Covid. ACRES has offered consistently high quality learning provision for many years as a result of the dedication and commitment of all staff and tutors however, despite the best efforts of both the staff team and the Board, ACRES is not able to generate enough income to cover costs sufficiently and so no courses will be offered or delivered after 31st July 2024.
On our last ever ACRES' GCSE Results Day we would like to congratulate all our students who have taken exams / assessments with us this year on their hard work, commitment and determination in their studies.
Studies have ranged from ESOL, Skills for Life, Functional Skills and GCSEs and the dedication our students have shown to their studies while juggling many other commitments is fantastic.
We are so proud of each and every one of them and we wish them all the very best with their individual next steps.
To all our students, from everyone here in the ACRES' team: Thank you for learning with us. We wish you every success for the future.
We would like to assure all our GCSE students that we will continue to provide any post results services you may require. GCSE certificates will be issued to you in September.
For our students studying Functional Skills and ESOL qualifications, please note, any outstanding results letters and certificates will be issued to you by the end of August.
