Day Schools, extra classes and what one of our tutors has been up to!

Hello from the Adult Learn and Train Team

How is it October already? The nights are already drawing in, it's getting colder, and the winter wardrobe is back in its glory! Has anyone noticed the Christmas stock back in the shops? or do you try to walk past that aisle?!

Our term started on the 18^th September, and over the last couple of weeks, we've settled 63 courses and welcomed 629 learners.

Our enrolment has been really successful for the Autumn term; we have only cancelled two classes. Our Wreath Making class has been so successful that we've added an extra class and we have just added Japanese Ikebana Flower Arranging back into the programme due to many enquiries about it. Take a look at the description here: Flower Arranging: Japanese Ikebana (May Day school) | 16/05/2026 | Arts & Crafts | Courses | Adult Learn and Train

Look what one of our tutors has been up to:

The picture above features our tutor, Lisa Fretwell, and her husband, Peter, at a book launch in September. Peter is a cartographer and scientist with the British Antarctic Survey. He is credited with discovering nearly half of the world's emperor penguin colonies and has written a book for the publishing company Penguin—surprisingly, it's about penguins! Lisa, who is also very talented, created all the illustrations for Peter's book.
