SIR John Deane’s College has become one of the first colleges in the North West to achieve the Matrix award for the quality of its help for adult students.

The Matrix quality standard has been awarded for excellence in the information, advice and guidance given to hundreds of adult education students that enjoy the college’s evening courses.

Patsy Chuter, the college’s adult education manager, said: “Our adult education team are here to do all they can to help find the right course for every adult student who comes into our college, and we are delighted to have been awarded the Matrix standard which underlines the excellent guidance we strive to provide.”
