(a) That the progress made against the Estyn Inspection be noted; and

(b) That the Committee is assured by the rigour of improvement planning and evaluation within the Partnership.

            The Senior Manager (School Improvement) explained that the update report followed the positive Estyn Inspection Report for the Adult Community Learning Partnership undertaken in May 2022. Members had requested that an update on the progress of the recommendations received following that Inspection with Estyn recognising the Partnerships’ areas of strength and development. The four recommendations and an overview of the work undertaken for each recommendation were outlined within the report.

            The Senior Manager thanked Dawn Spence, the Adult Community Learning (ACL) and Post 16 Learning Adviser, who she said had been the driving force around implementing the recommendations alongside the work undertaken in the Quality Improvement Plan to enhance and develop the adult learning provision.

                      Councillor Carolyn Preece commended the team for the excellent progress which had been made and said that previously community education had not been promoted but the Plan enhanced this.

            The Chair thanked the team for its partnership approach with the Council being very proactive in this area especially the commitment to promote the Welsh language. She was also pleased that the learners themselves were part of this
               

The recommendations, as outlined within the report, were moved by Councillor Carolyn Preece and seconded by Councillor Gladys Healey.

RESOLVED:

(a) That the progress made against the Estyn Inspection be noted; and
