“The Penzance centre serves people from throughout West Cornwall with people travelling to us from their homes across areas spanning from Land’s End, Marazion, Leedstown and St Ives. To ask many of these learners to travel even further, say from St Just to Hayle, many via public transport, and to arrive at lessons at 9.30am is a big ask, especially for those with low finances, esteem or motivation, and indeed with other commitments demanding their time, for example families and work. We are not aware that any impact assessment has been carried out, especially for students with access needs and disabilities,” added the staff.
