Adult Literacies Learner of the Year


Chloe McRoberts had great problems at school, and her dyslexia meant writing, spelling and numbers were always a real challenge.  These problems resulted in her struggling with attendance, motivation and concentration and she left school with no qualifications at the age of 15.

Her big ambition is to become a vet, so she knew things had to change.  On leaving secondary school she immediately enrolled with the Learning Shop where she received two sessions a week – one in literacy and one in numeracy.  She began to make great strides in her learning and understanding; progress with her writing and her growing confidence meant she was able to apply to Ayr College to take an English course.  She was accepted and has done extremely well, and she intends to continue with even more subjects next year.

Chloe knows she has a long way still to go to achieve her dream, but if her dedication and progress continue….she will get there!
