Family Learning Works!
Children spend only 15% of their waking hours in school. It stands to reason that when parents,
grandparents and carers can support children’s learning, they will have a better chance of success.
Family Learning workshops and courses are for adults who want to support their children’s learning
and develop their own skills too. You’ll make friends, gain confidence and work towards qualifications.
But most importantly, you’ll make a difference - and have fun!
The Keep Up courses, starting in January are also ideal for anyone currently volunteering or
working in schools or pre-school settings and for those who are thinking about working with
children. Learning in the context of the primary curriculum, you will have the opportunity to
brush up your skills and get an up to date, nationally recognised qualification.
We did a session learning about phonics which I’ve never
really understood or thought was important. My little boy is
at the age of learning these. After the session I went home
and showed him my work and sat and helped him. He
seemed more interested and willing to try, knowing that I
was doing it too. (How Children Learn to Read and Write)
