Family Learning

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
    • SHARE

“My children have improved their skills and are much more confident in the classroom.” Susan.
