SALTAIRE STORIES PROJECT
Shipley College owns a unique collection of archive
material providing insights in to the history and

Stories to manage and promote this wonderful archive
for educational use.
Lottery funding has helped enable Saltaire Stories
to complete the catalogue, make the archive more
accessible and develop learning resources.
The College continues in Sir Titus Salt’s tradition of

WHAT SOME OF OUR CURRENT APPRENTICES SAY:
“LLOYDS BANK
Student Name: Joshua
Former Infrastructure Technician Advanced Apprentice
‘An apprenticeship was ideal for me because I needed experience
that employers want in order to gain an IT support role. I gained
this working as an IT Support Technician across two primary
schools, whilst studying towards a qualification.
After my apprenticeship, I was offered a fixed term contract with
the two schools, and since then I have secured a job with Lloyds
Banking Group as a 1st Line Support Analyst.
I would recommend apprenticeships because they give you the
opportunity to learn the skills and knowledge needed to progress
in to the area of work you want to be in and they will kick start
your career, as it has mine.’

“BECKFOOT SCHOOL
Student Name: Amy
Digital Marketing Advanced Apprentice
‘I have always wanted to do an apprenticeship because the
‘hands-on’ learning has helped me gain the experience I need,
whilst building up my knowledge through my Level 3 course.
One of the main things I love about my job is the variety of work
I do, including working on campaigns or designing leaflets. My
apprenticeship has given me the chance to prove myself and it
has improved my confidence and skill set which will help me in
the future. After I have completed my apprenticeship, I would like
to further my career in Digital Marketing.’

ADVANCED LEARNER LOAN
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A COURSE, BUT NOT
SURE IF YOU CAN AFFORD TO PAY THE FEES AT THIS
TIME, YOU CAN APPLY FOR AN ADVANCED LEARNER
LOAN TO HELP YOU WITH THE COSTS. THEY ARE FOR
ANYONE AGED 19 AND OVER TO HELP FUND THE

LEVEL 3 OR 4.
REPAYMENTS ON THE LOAN DON’T BEGIN UNTIL YOU
START TO EARN MORE THAN £25,000 PER YEAR AND
AFTER YOU COMPLETE THE COURSE.
For more information about the Advanced Learner Loan and
how to apply, please see page 60.
“‘Having done a 3 month course in Horticulture with the College,
I knew I wanted a career change in to this area. My concern was
how I could afford the Level 3 Horticulture Diploma course.
I borrowed the full cost of it, over £3000, through the Advanced
Learner Loan. It was easy to apply as it was done online.
It has helped me develop a career in environmentally-friendly,
therapeutic horticulture which helps people with physical &
mental health issues. Once I have completed my course,
I will gain further practical experience and gain a therapeutic
horticulture qualification. Without the Advanced Learner Loan,
I would not have been able to pursue my dream career.’

INTRODUCTION TO MINDFULNESS
No fee reduction available
In a busy world where there are lots of demands for our attention, we can become stressed and anxious. Mindfulness helps us to see
clearly what is going on in our lives and, rather than worrying about what has happened or might happen, it trains us to respond skilfully
to whatever is happening right now, be that good or bad. It will not eliminate life’s pressures, but in this introductory course you can learn
to use mindfulness practices to help respond to difficulties in a calmer manner that benefits your head, heart and body.

INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY: UNDERSTANDING YOURSELF AND OTHERS WITH KEITH RICE

This Beginners course aims to introduce students to a number of areas of Psychology, including the concept of ‘self’, the importance
of beliefs and values, the impact of gender differences on male-female relationships and the criticality of attachments during child

PSYCHOLOGY TOPIC: GRANDPARENTS, PARENTS & TEENAGERS WITH KEITH RICE
No fee reduction available
This is one of two psychology topics which build on the Introductory course, ‘Understanding Yourself and Others’. It provides a more
in-depth approach to a key area to help you explore specific interests under discussion or build knowledge of psychology and behavioural
sciences. Attendance on the Introductory course is helpful, but not essential, as recaps and additional study material will be provided.
This course looks at how, on the one hand, values are transmitted down the generations; on the other hand, values are shaped by
cultural and societal elements. There are also individual temperamental and experiential factors that lead to value variations within
generations and even within close-knit families. Using the material on this course, participants will be able to identify the causes of
values conflicts between parents and their children – especially teenagers. For grandparents, generational values shifts can seem
bewildering. This course will give older people the knowledge to understand how and why these shifts occur and some ideas on how
they can stay ‘in tune’ with their children and grandchildren.

in-depth approach to a key area to help you explore specific interests under discussion or build knowledge of psychology and behavioural
sciences. Attendance on the Introductory course is helpful, but not essential, as recaps and additional study material will be provided.
The first part of this course looks at socio-psychological explanations of how and why people tend towards particular political
preferences. It also looks at how political systems are changing and why longstanding traditional party allegiances are breaking down.
The relationship of intelligence, brain structure and political preference is explored. Certain brains prefer certain politics – myth or reality?
The second part of the course looks at how to manage conflicts – from the micro (e.g: a husband and wife locked in to a long-running
dispute) to the macro (e.g: countries threatening each other with war). Some key conflict management models will be explored, including
the one used to end Apartheid in South Africa. Participants will have the opportunity to consider their own conflict patterns in
a safe environment.

other circumstances.
If a class is cancelled for reasons beyond the College’s control, such as bad weather, the College will
attempt to give as much warning as possible. While every attempt will be made to replace a cancelled
class, we regret that the College cannot guarantee to do so. Where it proves impossible to do so,
the College will not make a refund.
