Parent and Carer Learning
Parent and Carer Learning. To help you support your child with their school education. We also have lots of information to support you as a parent signposting you to lots of external agencies who are offering help. Scroll down and see what there is for you.
On this page we will direct you to anything that we find that we think will help you in helping your child. Whether 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.
