Parent and Carer Learning

On this page we will direct you to anything that we find that we think will help you in helping your child.  Wether it is about up-skilling you so that you can support your children with their homework, or taking on a hobby or learning skills to build up your own confidence.  It might just be opportunities to be able to talk and chat about parenting and children's learning in a safe and supportive environment, with others who are in a similar situation as yourself.  If you have any questions about anything shared here please talk to Mrs Ware on the gate or make an appointment to see her.

 Walsall College has a number of short courses available to help jobseekers back into work that take place from April!

Their Employment Gateway courses are open to *anyone aged 19+ who are currently unemployed with many offering a guaranteed job interview or work experience opportunities.

They have courses available in a number of areas to help people into work, including working with the NHS and in the care sector.

The aim of these free courses is to provide individuals with all the support and knowledge they need to work in specific areas, including help with the development of their CV and interview skills to give them the best opportunity to get back into work.

These courses will run providing there are enough people registered.
