Sherborne Learning Centre

Lots of our students take a course in Constructions Skills from Certificate to Diploma level. Some students follow the course in the centre and some go to the also excellent Skills4Life centre at Rylands Farm.

Here Stephen is working hard wiring a light fitting. Useful skills and a possible career?

Just to show it’s not all fun and games at SLC, here are some students taking a Maths exam on Monday. Students tend to do very in their exams with us and we wish them good luck with this particular one, and all the exams to come!

We’re very proud that one of our students has won the Prince’s Trust XL South West region Educational Achiever of the Year. Joe very much deserved to win and now has a chance at winning the national award.

The XL club is run at SLC by Vicky. This is the second year in a row that one of her students has won this prize. This is an exceptional achievement. Well done Vicky.

Skye made a gorgeous self portrait using photography, Gimp and Inkscape.

She then transfered the image to paper with the projector and coloured it using water soluble pencil crayons, then she took the real risk and water washed the whole thing to create a painting.

Brave girl Skye!

Well done, and keep that winning smile up.

A groovy bit of stencil art from Emily B this week.

Emily used canvas and acrylics to make this contemporary DJ piece.

Here we go again with those block rockin beats

Well done Em.

Dan created a banksy inspired piece of work today. Commenting on the recent racism in football incident, he used ‘gimp’ and ‘inkscape’ to create a stencil image of Hitler giving Didier a red card.

Keep up the good work Dan.

Dillon made this beautiful piece of work in D+T today. Using the peg loom he made a gorgeous woven sampler using neutral colours of taffeta, leather and cotton.

Later we placed some pieces of metal to contrast against the softness of the fabrics.

Well done Dillon.
