English and Maths GCSE student Shelley is supporting her three sons through their studies after taking up English and Maths GCSEs at Wigan & Leigh College.

Shelley took up adult learning in a bid to encourage sons Tom, Aaron and Frankie with their homework and it seems to be paying off.

“Now that I have an idea of what they are studying we can help each other with our homework. If I am stuck on something Tom shows me how to work it out. I think he likes getting one up on me, but I am sure it’s helping him too.”
