About Us

Andover Adult & Family Learning Centre (AAFLC) arose from the highly successful Andover Community Partnership Family Learning Project.

We offer families, grandparents, mums, dads, carers and children the opportunity to learn new skills in a supportive, unthreatening and friendly environment.

We offer training and advice to local partner organisations and agencies because we believe that those based in the community are best placed to work with the community.

AAFLC is user-led, and arranges a variety of training opportunities to meet the specifically requested needs of its users, in locations most appropriate to its learners.

AAFLC is an active agent in new innitiatives and part of the Community Education programme of Harrow Way Community School and is supported by Hampshire County Council.

LONGMEADOW HAS A ‘FACELIFT’

Thanks to the generosity of Homebase, Jewson and Wickes the Longmeadow Centre, the ‘home’ of Andover Adult and Family Learning has just been given a much needed facelift.  Winton School’s Construction Group, consisting of pupils from Winton, Harrow Way and John Hanson Schools, kindly volunteered to paint the hall and the foyer.  They were overseen by their teachers, Max Lee and Phil Messingham.  The learners and staff at Andover Family Learning are delighted with the results – a wonderful example of community work at its best.

Celebrating Achievement – 18th October, 2011

Our annual Celebrating Achievement Event took place on 18th October, 2011. We invited our learners to come to Longmeadow so that we could congratulate them on their achievements over the last academic year, celebrate their success and present them with their certificates. We are extremely proud of our learners, staff and volunteers and we hope those who came enjoyed the evening as much as we did.

We should like to thank Clive Graham, who was the Community Education Manager at Harrow Way Community School before he retired in December 2010, for presenting the learners with their Certificates and the Jean Lannie Award. The Award, in memory of Jean, who started the project and inspired so many people over the years, was given to Jerry Corlass this year – above is a photograph of Clive congratulating Jerry on his success.
