What is Family Learning?
Family Learning is about families learning together, by encouraging parents and carers to learn new skills alongside their children. Family Learning courses help mums, dads, and carers to learn new skills that will enable them to support their child’s learning, to help them do well at school.
We also aim to develop parent and carer’s confidence in supporting their children’s individual learning, by teaching parents how and what their children are learning.
We delivery courses in schools and local community centres. You can keep an eye out on our website for upcoming courses, or you can speak to reception at your child’s school.
