Course details
Brief Description:
Creative Writing for Beginners is an 8 week course that revolves around exploring the skills & craft of writing fiction. Writing stories for personal pleasure has become a popular pastime again as has writing poetry to post online for others to read and take inspiration from. During the recent pandemic and various lockdowns many of us sought out purposeful activities that can be done anywhere at any time and that require a minimum investment in new equipment (when it comes to creative writing the bare necessities are only paper and a pen/pencil). Engaging in creative pursuits has also been found to relieve anxiety and promote good mental health by providing a focus for concentrated thought. It doesn’t matter whether you want to write as an end it itself or to write with the intention of sharing your work with a wider audience, the well-being benefits come from engaging in the act of harnessing your creative energy. Although as with every craft the more accomplished the finished result, the more appreciation and enjoyment gained.
Creative Writing for Beginners will help you feel more confident in your abilities to communicate your ideas and will also give you the opportunity to experiment in a safe environment with different forms of storytelling to find which gives you the most satisfaction and creative enjoyment. Throughout the course you will learn about putting the skills & craft of storytelling into practice by working on a short story, a piece of memoir, a poem, and examining forms such genre fiction, plays and screenwriting. The emphasis is on having a go and learning by doing because there has never been a writer who cannot improve their work by rewriting in the light of feedback given and knowledge or experience gained (even Shakespeare crossed things out and had another go at finding the right word to convey exactly what he intended). Creative Writing for Beginners can’t promise to turn you into a great playwright, but it will give you plenty of opportunities to better appreciate and implement the skills necessary for successful storytelling whilst having fun playing with language along the way.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the course, you will have the opportunity to:
- Identify writing goals and ways of working to achieve them.
Give and receive feedback. - Differentiate the elements required in storytelling.
- Identify the skills of creative writing.
- Write a short story, a piece of non-fiction memoir, and a poem.

Brief Description:
No Plastics! Help save our Planet!
Come join us, make reusable beeswax food wrappers. Make them for yourselves or as presents for friends.
These wrappers are a great alternative to clingfilm. They are great for wrapping and storing food and it is one more step to becoming plastic free!
They are reusable, easy to clean and anti-bacterial. When you no longer want them they can thrown away guilt free as they will biodegrade.
Fabric will be coated with the beeswax and sealed.
Previous Experience and Knowledge Needed?
None
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the course, you will have the opportunity to:
- Make beeswax food wrappers
- Understand how to use them
- Experiment with ratios of ingredients
- Learn how to reuse the ingredients
Extra costs on the course for example text book, materials or equipment
The college will supply the beeswax, jojoba oil, pine resin, parchment paper, paint brush, stirrers, cans, pans etc and some 100 percent cotton fabrics
Please bring a chosen fabric – 100% cotton, enough to cut 4 sizes of wrappers you require – think about what you want to wrap. The cotton should be not too thick and not too tight weave.
Please also bring your iron and two old towels. The beeswax will not damage the towels or iron but it may spill out when ironing so we suggest old towels for this reason.
For the first session, you will need to bring:
100% cotton pieces of your choice.
Tape measure (if you have one). A jam jar (for any extra wax)
Please also bring crimping scissors if you have them. You may want to bring an apron, you will need two old towels and an iron. (Do not worry, the towels will not get ruined during the class)

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 2023 (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 2022. 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: 12th November 2022, 3rd December 2022, 4th February 2023, 4th March 2023, 13th May 2023.
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 105 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.
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:
The exam board has very specific requirements for those who need access arrangements for exams (additional time, laptops, modified papers). It is your responsibility to provide the relevant supporting documents to the office if you require additional time or access arrangements for exams. Please note such arrangements are only granted for 3 years (by JCQ), and those granted by universities are not valid for GCSE exams.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
By the end of the whole year course you will have the opportunity to:
• Take the GCSE Exam in English Language
• Express yourself well when speaking
• Structure and plan your writing effectively

Do you need to update your CV? Did you not achieve your Maths qualification through school? Are you 19 years old or over?
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).
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. Level 4 is a ‘standard pass’ (equivalent to the old grade C); a level 5 is a ‘good pass’.
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 seven Saturday day schools. A full schedule of confirmed 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: 15th October 2022, 19th November 2022, 10th December 2022, 28th January 2023, 25th February 2023, 25th March 2023, 22nd April 2023.
The course will be taught as a linear course and certification is available in May/June 2023, 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 2023. 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 110 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.
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;
-apply mathematical knowledge and understanding to solve problems;
-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;
-acquire the skills needed to use technology such as calculators and computers effectively;
