Dear Reader

This is our latest Prospectus which I hope you will enjoy reading.

This booklet includes information about courses we will be offering from September. Some of these courses will be new and include Sewing, Badminton and Archery as well as old favourites such as Spanish, Drawing and Painting and Computing.

We recently held a very successful Community Open Day which was attended by the Mayor of Haringey, our local MP as well as Ward Councillors.

On offer were new and existing courses and activities. The feedback from participants influenced some of the new courses we have included in this term’s Prospectus.

West Green Learning Centre at Park View School continues to be committed to offering good quality teaching and learning for our adult students in a safe and welcoming environment. We continue to work in partnership with a number of Training Providers, to ensure that all our students succeed in their aspirations.
