Thank you for your hospitality and cooperation, and that of your staff, during my visit on 11 November 2009 to look at work in literacy.
p.1
literacy
The visit provided valuable information which will contribute to our national evaluation and reporting. Published reports are likely to list the names of the contributing institutions, but individual institutions will not be identified in the main text without their consent.

literacy
The evidence used to inform the judgements included interviews with senior staff, tutors and learners, two observations of literacy teaching, and supporting documentation provided by the college.

Features of good practice observed
The very good understanding of the wider personal, social and educational barriers that learners face informs tutors’ approach to literacy development well. The centre makes very effective use of the learners’ interest in horses to motivate them and focus their development of literacy skills. The integration of the full range of literacy skills into centre activities and practical work is good. The centre makes good use of resources, including computers and the library, to engage learners’ interest, build their confidence, and encourage independent learning in literacy.
