Education at HMP Morton Hall is provided by PeoplePlus, covering ESOL (English for speakers of other languages), maths, English and art, reflecting the prison’s international population. Course achievement rates have been high, though inspectors have judged the curriculum as lacking ambition, with too few accredited vocational qualifications on offer.
Work and Employment
Workshop capacity has grown gradually since the prison reopened, and time out of cell for work and education varies significantly between residential units, with some units offering close to full-time activity and others considerably less. Careers information, advice and guidance is available, though inspectors have found it to be inconsistent in practice. As a prison for foreign national offenders, resettlement planning takes into account whether a prisoner will remain in the UK or be deported on release.
