Here at Priestley College, our Adult learners are funded through the Adult Skills Fund.

If a learner funded through the Adult Skills Fund stops attending their course for 21 days (including periods when the college is closed for breaks), they are considered to be in breach of the funding terms. This is because funding is only provided while learners are actively engaged in learning, and long periods of absence mean the college must report a break in learning or withdraw the learner from the programme. To avoid this, it’s important for learners to stay in regular contact with the college and attend consistently, or let staff know promptly if they need support or need to take an approved break.

Please note, there is specific guidance around applying for a 'break in learning' and applicaitons should be made in advance to the Adult College Manager, and considered on a case by case basis.

Further information on the Adult Skills Fund can be found here -

EAL Careers Resources

This can be used in school by any member of staff as there are clear instructions of how to deliver. The aim of the resource is to raise career aspirations for those students who have struggled to access Careers due to language barriers. Everything is there for you to be able to just pick this up and deliver including template letters home in the 10 different languages. Students will ideally need to be able to access a computer for the video links in their own languages. It is best suited for mainstream KS4 mainstream, PRU and FE and SEND Group 2 students.
