Dear Schools

The Family Learning team are now almost full for the first half of the Spring Term. We have a couple of vacancies for 5 week sessions on a Wednesday or Thursday left. If you would like to use our services drop us an email and we can book you in for the remaining slots or in advance for the second half of the Spring term. A big thank you goes to all of the schools who have already booked their sessions.

Our new courses

Taster sessions

These are one off sessions on a subject that your school requires. These are usually to a larger group of parents. They can be used to implement a new strategy, cover an area of weakness in a particular cohort or year group of children or celebrate a day in the school calendar eg. World book day, science week, math’s week etc.

After School Parent sessions.

We are looking into the possibility of running after school sessions for parents and wondered if there was a school out there willing to trial this with us. We would be willing to try out a few ideas in partnership with your school which, if successful, we could offer to other schools too. Please contact us if you are interested in piloting this with us.

Mixed subject course

These can run for 5 weeks for the same group of parents lasting 2 hours a week. This time the focus is on a range of subjects that can be tailored to the needs of your school.

For example we can deliver sessions on the following learning areas:

  • Healthy Eating/Living
  • Internet Safety
  • Use of IT to help learning at home
  • Information session on Book Bands
  • Handwriting
  • Learning styles
  • Praise and rewards
  • Phonics
  • SPAG
  • Particular maths area

NEW INTAKE PREPARATION SESSIONS

These sessions have been particularly successful this term but many parents expressed a wish for schools to hold them before their children start school in September. We can condense the course from 5 weeks into 2 sessions that can be held with any new parents to your school in July once your 2017 intake has been finalised. Contact us if you wish to take advantage of these in the Summer term or wish to book them to start when the term starts in September. These courses were busy last year so confirm yours as early as possible.

We hope that you can find something that suits your school here. If you would like to book for a last minute summer course or plan ahead for Summer please contact us as soon as possible to ensure you get the days and times you prefer. If you would like to utilise our service but would like to discuss your requirements further please contact one of us below as we are more than happy to pay you a visit or chat via phone or email.

Looking forward to working with you and your school.
