We also work in partnership with other providers of adult education in Harrow, including the WEA and the University of the Third Age. In this capacity we provide a comprehensive lifelong learning programme across the borough.
In 2003, the Harrow ACL service achieved Grade 2 (Good) in an Adult Learning Inspectorate inspection. Very few authorities in the country achieved this grade.
In September 2005 a monitoring review by the inspectorate showed an improvement in the quality of the provision since the inspection.
In the November 2007 OFSTED inspection the service achieved Grade 2 (Good) in all areas/themes inspected. Particular praise was given to the family and community learning provision.
