Paul HumphreysI hold a BA (Hons) in International Studies with the OU and an MA (Merit) in International Relations (IR) with Anglia Ruskin University. I am currently a doctoral research student with Brunel University researching the effects of the H.M. Governments PREVENT counter-terrorism strategy on professionals working in public welfare services. I have studied geopolitical events for many years and have always found it a fascinating subject. In terms of IR I am a adherent of the realist school of thought. I think a good understanding of IR has never been so important, because the current global order is in a state of flux and the West is facing the distinct possibility of decline and being eclipsed by a rising East Asia led by China.

Course details
Brief Description:
This workshop of how to draft a bodice is particularly great if you want to start making your own designs or if you struggle to get commercial sewing patterns to fit.
It will teach you how to create a bodice block to fit your own body measurements. Taking measurements and plotting these onto pattern paper you’ll create a simple sewing pattern that will then be made up in fabric and will fit your shape perfectly.
This pattern / sloper can then be used as a basis when creating your own sewing patterns or as a guide when adapting commercial sewing patterns. We will also discuss how adjustments to the basic block can create different garment styles.
Pattern drafting paper will be provided and instruction worksheets are supplied so that you can repeat the process again in your own time if needed for yourself and others.
Previous Experience and Knowledge Needed?
Previous dressmaking experience is beneficial to get the most out of the workshop.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the course, you will have the opportunity to:
- Take body measurements correctly for pattern drafting
- Create a bodice block sloper
- Understand how to adapt the pattern for other styles, e.g. move darts, change necklines etc
- Have the tools to create made to measure bodice blocks for others
For the first session you will need to bring:
What you will need to bring will be a calculator (one on a phone is fine), pencil, paper scissors, ruler, tape measure, half a meter of calico or other non stretch fabric to make a toile of the bodice. A sewing machine, fabric scissors and thread.
The college does have sewing machines If you’d like to borrow one rather than bringing your own.
On completion of this course, what might your next steps be?
To enrol on a pattern drafting course, or start to design your own made to measure patterns.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Do you need to update your CV? Did you not achieve your English qualification through school? Are you 19 years old or over?
This is a one year course that will enable you to take the GCSE exam in May/June 2024 (Dates TBC by exam board).
The exams consist of two papers, Explorations in Creative Reading and Writing and Writers’ viewpoints and perspectives. Both are worth 50%. There is also a non-examination assessment in spoken language.
It is also necessary to give a presentation or speech.
The funding is given to enable you to gain a grade 4 or above, within one academic year (equivalent to the old C grade). There is no tier for English GCSE so all grades are available.
This course starts in September 2023. Day and Time: Thursday 6.00 – 8.30 pm. Venue: Coleridge Community College.
Each week regular homework will be given which is directly linked to the class session and completion of this will enable you to make sense of the class work and for you to prepare for the exams. Good organisation will help you to get the most from the course. You will need to keep notes, be able to proofread and check writing tasks for errors and to speak in front of others in an assessed environment. Classes are informal and work very much on a communal basis where all are invited to share their viewpoints and ideas.
This is a challenging exam, and you must already be proficient at correctly using punctuation, grammar and spellings.
The course runs the whole year. Weekday sessions are 2.5 hours long, Saturdays are 5 hours long; attendance in the evening and on the allocated Saturdays is mandatory. There will be (up to) thirty evening sessions and five Saturdays.
A full schedule of confirmed dates will be given on the first session; we will do our best not to change any dates, but this occasionally happens due to unforeseen circumstances.
Saturday dates: 14th October 2023, 2nd December 2023, 10th February 2024, 23rd March 2024, 18th May 2024.
PLUS 20 hours mandatory online content
GCSE English is expected to take between 120 and 140 hours of study – you will attend taught classes for 100 hours, face to face in centre and complete an additional 20 hours mandatory on-line/homework tasks which will be marked and are a compulsory part of the course.
Some of you will need to spend more time self-studying to bring your skills up to the required level.
The course is fully funded by Cambridgeshire Skills – full attendance is required. You will complete an enrolment form, so that funding can be applied for; you will also need to provide your National Insurance number and show a form of photographic ID (passport, driving licence etc.). Failure to meet these criteria means that funding is withdrawn and you will be liable for the full cost of the course.
PLEASE NOTE: The final GCSE exams will take place during the day at Coleridge Community College. The dates are published by the exam board and all candidates must sit the exam then – expect to book leave / holiday from work / childcare as needed for the exam dates. Provisional dates are: Thursday 23/5/24 (morning) and Thursday 6/6/24 (morning). These will be confirmed by the exam board in due course.
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE NEEDED?
Candidates should have studied English to Functional Skills Level 2 or have a recent GCSE Grade D (or equivalent). Please speak to the office if you have O-levels / CSEs or qualifications from outside the UK. All learners are required to complete an initial assessment / screening of English levels prior to enrolment on the course – please telephone the office on 01223 712340 to make an appointment.
If the assessor feels this course is not suitable in the initial assessment period they will signpost learners to alternative, more appropriate courses.
ACCESS ARRANGEMENTS FOR EXAMS / LEARNING DIFFICULTIES:

Brief Description:
Recent events have taught us that sometimes we need to be able to express ourselves or occupy ourselves in new ways. Sometimes just for fun but sometimes to remain healthy. This course will offer learners the chance to challenge themselves, overcome obstacles through problem solving skills, find new means of expression (or develop existing ones). This can be done through the creation of artworks. In addition to this the record of a journey of development in the form of a journal can provide a useful and inspirational tool for personal expression and exploration of ideas. Combining these two closely connected practices will enable learners to develop confidence through step by step achievement of goals and milestones and improve their outlook by building a set of skills appropriate to them as individuals.
This course is funded by Cambridgeshire Skills, so full attendance is required; you will also need to complete an enrolment form so that the office can apply for the funding and complete an individual learning plan weekly with your tutor.
This course may be fully funded if:

Outcomes of the course:
- Acquire skills to enable effective self- assessment
- Build confidence through acquisition and extension of new skills
- Express feelings or intuition more freely
- Compile a body of work which shows personal development
- Make regular entries in a personal journal
- Some learners will create a personal development plan

This is a wonderful course of facial pampering and wellbeing, incorporating Face Yoga, Gua Sha and Acupressure.
All the combined feel-good methods to really enhance our overall wellbeing.
Face Yoga which lifts and firms the skin. It also oxygenates the skin, brightens the skins, reducing tension from the face. Other benefits are fewer headaches, eye strain and sinus issues. It reduces wrinkles, smooths the forehead and defines the jawline and much more.
Gua Sha is the perfect companion to face yoga, they work marvellously together. Gua Sha, pronounced “Gwah Sha” is a Chinese therapeutic technique that has been practised for thousands of years in China. It uses a round edge tool that strokes the skin until redness appears. Some of the benefits are: increased microcirculation by 400%; floods the skin with nutrients; removes toxins through the lymphatic system; improves muscle tone; lifts brows; plumps lips; sculpts and contours cheeks and jawline.
Acupressure is applying pressure to specific points on the face. This will stimulate and balance the flow of energy within. This will improve your skin health, and reduce for example sinus problems, headaches and eye strain and more.

Brief Description
Handmade Stained Glass Christmas decorations – what could be better! Have you ever wondered how glass is made and put together? Here is your chance to try a unique glass technique called ‘copper foil’, invented by Louis Comfort Tiffany, which revolutionised the way that glass was made and put together. Small scale, delicate pieces can be made using this method. You will need a steady hand and lots of patience to learn this technique, but the results will be well worth the effort! You will create a unique and beautiful copper foil glass Christmas decoration using a combination of coloured glass and glass globs if desired.
During the first part of the day, we will concentrate upon working out how to cut, foil and solder glass together. Then you will create a suitable design and colour scheme for this project so that you will understand how to design your own piece in the future.
Learning Outcomes:
The following will be covered during the course:
Design skills
Brief history of glass/makers
Glass cutting methods
Grinding & soldering
Copper foil technique

• An apron, which is fabric or plastic coated

Course details
The one-year Maths GCSE course will be taught at Foundation Tier – the funding is given to enable you to gain a grade 4 or 5, within one academic year, (equivalent to the old C grade).
Do you need to update your CV? Did you not achieve your Maths qualification through school? Are you 19 years old or over?
General content headings are number, algebra, ratio proportion and rates of change, geometry and measure, probability, statistics. The majority of the course will cover the Foundation syllabus; the tutor will use Higher Tier extension materials where appropriate and the college offers learners the option to be entered into the Higher Tier exams, however this option requires learners to independently study in their own time.
Foundation tier: grades 1 to 5. Higher tier: grades 4 to 9.
The course will be held face to face in centre and runs the whole year including five mandatory exam preparation Saturday day schools. A full schedule of dates will be given out on the first session; we will do our best not to change any dates, but this occasionally happens due to unforeseen circumstances.
Saturday dates: 11th November 2023, 9th December 2023, 3rd February 2024, 9th March 2024, 11th May 2024.
The course will be taught as a linear course and certification is available in May/June 2024, the qualification consists of three equally weighted written examination papers. All three papers must be at the same tier of entry and must be completed in May/June 2024. Each paper is 1 hour and 30 minutes long. Paper 1 is a non-calculator exam; a calculator is allowed for Paper 2 and Paper 3.
GCSE maths is expected to take between 120 and 140 hours of study – you will attend taught classes for 100 hours, and complete an additional 20 hours mandatory content – through set homework tasks which will be marked and are a compulsory part of the course. You will need to spend more time self-studying certain topics to bring your skills up to the required level. You are required to have independent study skills, and to set yourself appropriate goals and targets. You will be assessed through the lessons and by homework.
The course is fully funded by Cambridgeshire Skills – full attendance is required. You will complete an enrolment form, so that funding can be applied for; you will also need to provide your National Insurance number and show a form of photographic ID (passport, driving licence etc.). Failure to meet these criteria means that funding is withdrawn, and you will be liable for the full cost of the course.
PLEASE NOTE: GCSE exams will take place during the day at Coleridge Community College. The dates are published by the exam board and all candidates must sit the exam then. Dates will be confirmed at the beginning of the course – expect to book leave / holiday from work / childcare as needed. Provisional dates are: Thursday 16/5/24 (morning), Monday 3/6/24 (morning) and Monday 10/6/24 (morning). These will be confirmed by the exam board in due course.
Learning Outcomes: By the end of the whole year course you will have the opportunity to:
develop a positive attitude to mathematics;
consolidate basic skills and meet appropriately challenging work;

think and communicate mathematically – precisely, logically and creatively;
appreciate the place and use of mathematics in society;
apply mathematical concepts to situations arising in their own lives;
understand the interdependence of different branches of mathematics;

It is your responsibility to provide the relevant supporting documents to the office if you require additional time or access arrangements for exams.
