Family Learning

• Courses and Venues
• How to find out further Information

Family Learning courses are about parents/carers and children learning together. Courses help parents/carers to understand what their children are learning at school.

The classes are educational and great fun.

Family Learning courses aim to:

• Help parents/carers develop the skills and confidence necessary to support their children’s learning
• Allow parents/carers to be directly involved in their children’s learning through working together in a structured session, using books, games and other resources
• Look at the vocabulary of the school world, and understand Literacy and Numeracy strategies
• Help parents/carers with ICT, Basic Skills and ESOL needs.  They can gain accreditation, and receive advice by Adult Guidance Advisers as to appropriate progression pathways:
  • Family Numeracy (40 hours)
  • Family Numeracy workshops (2 hours)
  • Family Literacy (40 or 80 hours)
  • Family Literacy workshops (2 hours)
  • Keeping up with the Children (24 or 40 hours)
  • Family Art
  • Here We Grow in partnership with Sure Start
  • Family Drama
  • Family Music
