There are some other bits we need to tell you as we get funding from the Government to provide courses for Derbyshire residents.  This often helps to keep costs very reasonable.  In return we follow Government guidance:

  • By enrolling you are agreeing to our Terms and Conditions and we may share your details with other education providers. This is likely to depend on the type of course chosen.
  • Each year we'll check your proof of residency in Derbyshire and entitlement to possible funding
  • Adult learners aged over 19 years will generally pay full cost fees unless booking onto a free course.  There may be other costs for materials etc. 
  • Learners under 19, or up to 24 with an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) should chat to us or take a look here to check elibility for funding.

Description

All of our new Tailored Learning courses are matched to one of seven 'purposes' which have been designed by the Department for Education to recognise the wider benefits of learning.

This course will help build parenting skills and give you the confidence to support your children's learning.

Join us for a fun-filled, hands-on workshop where spooky tales come to life brick by brick! In this two-hour session, parents and children can snuggle up with a spooky (but not too scary!) children's book, then bring their favourite scene to life using Lego.

Whether it's a haunted house, a brave monster, or a magical forest, this workshop encourages storytelling, creativity, and quality time together. We'll provide Lego and a selection of spooky-themed books, but feel free to bring your own favourite too!

This course is for you if you have children and would like to do an activity together. Our courses are for people who live in Derbyshire aged 19 and over.

This is a classroom-based course. There will be practical activities with guidance from your tutor. The course will be a mix of tutor-led activities and individual work, You will be given group tasks and can work on your own projects. Your tutor will give you support and feedback so you know what to do to improve.

You may want to bring something to make notes. If you would like to bring a favourite spooky children's book, you are welcome to, but a selection will be available during the session.

This course is free and there are no other costs.
