A Guide to Community Groups and Contacts in Barrow upon Soar
community centre evening classes
A programme of classes is arranged each year by the staff of the Community Centre. Every effort is made to provide a range of courses to meet the needs and interests of members of the community and the organisers are always pleased to receive suggestions for new courses. Courses range from children's courses, certificated courses GCSE), sport, art and crafts, leisure, IT and well being. Courses are also organised in Burton-on-the-Wolds as part of our programme.
The course programme is published during August of each year with enrolment normally in the first week of September. Courses usually commence mid-September.
Fees depend on duration of the courses which usually last from 8 12 weeks (hours vary from 1-2 hour sessions). Leicestershire County Council offers fee remission to those in receipt of certain benefits. A full list can be obtained from the Community Office at HPHS.
One Day Courses and Family Learning days are arranged periodically, normally on Saturdays. These are advertised at appropriate times in the local press, library and through feeder schools. For further details contact the school office.
