We have a new craft studio under construction at our Farnham Centre that will enable us to increase the range of courses. The room is a fabulous big space where we will offer sculpture, pottery, mosaics and other 3D crafts. The longer courses in the studio will start from January 2015, however we plan to run a number of short taster courses in November and December 2014 when the studio becomes fully equipped. Art and Craft courses are just part of the extensive programme we offer - if your interest lies in Cookery, Languages, Exercise, Dance or IT please visit www.surreycc.gov.uk/adultlearning to see our full range of courses, including short courses and Saturday workshops. We also offer provision for learners with learning difficulties and disabilities and some qualification courses, building on the success of these in 2013-14. This year we are having just the one brochure for the three terms. It will lay out our core programme for the academic year. We will also respond to need and new opportunities by updating the programme on our website. I look forward to seeing you in one of our Centres in the coming months.

Rubina shares her experience: I was very keen to attend the course, as I had not had the chance to do any formal learning since I arrived in the U.K. 12 years before. I had been busy raising children and looking after a rather large family where my own needs were not always given priority. I wanted also to help my children develop their skills. Rubina Bhatti with her son Sulaiman. Family Learning “My son was struggling at school and his teacher thought that we both could benefit from the opportunity of learning together. My first language is Urdu. I was very isolated, so I jumped at the chance to join a Family Learning class held in my child’s school. Without the opportunity of attending a Family Learning course, I may have never had the confidence to learn with my child, start volunteering and pursue a career in education. The experience has been life changing. “ Family Learning courses aim to help parents/carers understand how English and maths are taught at school and by doing that increase their ability and confidence to support their children and improve their own skills at the same time. The courses offer parents a chance to either gain or work towards qualifications (pre-GCSE) and to receive guidance on how to progress to further learning or employment. Rubina has now gained enough confidence to volunteer at school three days a week, helping children with maths and English, and is hoping to train as a teaching assistant in the future. Find out more? Family Learning works with groups of parent/carers and extended family members in schools and children centres across Surrey. If you are a school, children’s centre or a community group involved with parents who would like to gain the benefits in the same way Rubina has, then please contact me at: [email protected] or see the web site www.surreycc.go.uk/adultlearning/familylearning The NIACE Family Learning review ‘Family Learning Works’ was published on the 18th October 2013.
