The County Council’s Adult Learning Service (ALS) provides learning opportunities that enable adults and families to participate in high quality, accessible and impactful learning and training, improving the lives and outcomes for individuals by maximising their potential.

With a focus on lifelong learning, we offer opportunities to:

  • learn for work
  • learn for life
  • learn to support families
  • learn for health and wellbeing
  • learn for enrichment.

We deliver courses to English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), Adults with Learning Disabilities (ALD), as well as our new Family Learning programme.

We work with partners across West Sussex to help people and communities fulfil their potential by delivering a hybrid of face-to-face and online courses and skills development in English, Maths and Digital Skills.

We help to improve employability skills in various career areas, creating pathways into enhanced employment opportunities.

Courses are funded by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA).

  • School Readiness Survey

    Early years charitable foundation Kindred2 commissioned Savanta to conduct focus groups and survey over 1,000 teachers and 1,000 parents of Reception children:

    • More than three-quarters of teachers say they are spending more time supporting children who are not school ready.
    • 1 in 4 children are starting school not toilet trained.
    • 30% of children can’t communicate their needs to tell teachers if they are hungry or scared or need to go to the toilet. 
    • More than a third of children couldn’t dress themselves.
    • A quarter don’t have basic language skills.

    Family Learning is developing a course to be delivered with nurseys, schools and offered to the public to support parents/carers to help their children to be ready for school.
