Durham Rd adult learning centre to move to Islington Arts & Media School
London Borough of Islington, Adult & Community Learning team in partnership
with Islington Arts & Media School are delighted to announce the setting up of
a new adult learning centre, to be based in the school from January 2006.
Building work will take place during the summer break, and the new centre will
be situated on the ground floor of the school with its own separate entrance.
Head teacher Richard Ewen welcomed the opportunity to strengthen the school’s
links to the community. “IAMS provides an excellent centre of learning for
school students, and this new initiative provides a great opportunity for
everybody to benefit from the improved library and learning facilities.”
The centre will include a state of the art suite of 15 personal computers with
broadband connectivity – allowing fast access to the internet - with a
separate study area; and will offer a wide range of courses and opportunities
for both parents and local people. These will include computer and technology
courses, family learning programmes, English language, basic skills and job
search services.
The official launch is planned for January 2006. For further information
