I can now understand the signs in the shops and out in the streets, it’s transformed my life. I am very grateful to everyone at the college. It’s given me a new lease of life.”
Her teacher, Sara Mitchell, said: “I am extremely pleased for Diane and proud that she has achieved so much in a relatively short space of time. She found the opportunity to extend her reading while completing the Six Book Challenge a very satisfying experience and plans to continue with her classes at Northampton College through to next year. Reading is an invaluable skill, not just from a learning point of view, but for pleasure, information, and for the wider opportunities that naturally occur.”
