Family Learning courses offer free, fun learning opportunities for parents, carers and children to learn together.
If you are a school, children’s centre or community group involved with parents please get in touch.
What is family learning?
Courses
are run at local schools, children’s centres, community centres,
libraries and other local venues. If mothers, fathers and carers want to
learn with their children as a family, or to further develop their own
skills to support their children at school, we will have a course that
suits their needs.
What are the benefits?
Family
learning builds confidence, skills and interest to go on learning in
adults and children and enable families to learn with and from each
other. Our courses also promote family relationships, raise the
attainment and / or achievement of adults and encourage positive behaviour
and attitude changes in children through the promotion of collaborative
learning.
Who are the courses for?
Courses are targeted at parents without level 2 qualifications and
can improve parents’ English and Maths skills which in turn increases
their confidence to help their children learn. In addition participation
on family learning courses enables parents to have more contact with
the education system and become more active partners with schools and
nurseries.
