New sessions to support adults aged 16+ with English skills

19 September 2025

ATTFE College is offering a series of group and one-to-one English sessions for adults aged 16+ . Their ‘A More Confident Me - English Skills’ sessions are designed to help to build confidence with everyday reading, writing, and listening skills. From filling out forms and reading letters, emails, or menus, to understanding and following basic instructions. Delivered in an inclusive and supportive environment, with opportunities to progress onto accredited English courses.

The new sessions that will be available from October to support Ashfield residents aged 16+ years with everyday English skills.

Funded by UKSPF in partnership with Ashfield District Council these sessions are non accredited designed to build confidence of learners providing a stepping stone for individuals who may then wish to progress on to an accredited functional skills course (if that is their preference).

Group sessions as well as one-to-one sessions are available at venues in Sutton, Kirkby and Hucknall.

Alongside these activities they will also be supporting Read Together family learning sessions to encourage parents and carers to have more confidence in reading with their children to include chance for story time together and book themed crafts and activities.
