We also run parents-only sessions in order to give adults a chance to learn on their own.

Easy to Read

This stimulating and practical workshop gives parents a real understanding of what learning to read is like for children, explains the complementary roles of schools and parents, and demonstrates practical techniques to motivate children and make reading books fun.

Each session is 2½ hours long and suitable for up to 16 adults. Sessions can take place during the school day, evenings or at weekends.

Ready for School

This flexible course gives parents of children in Foundation and Key Stage 1 an understanding of how primary schools work. It covers topics such as: the different roles and responsibilities of the many people who work there, approaches to the teaching of literacy and numeracy, behaviour policies, making the most of parents’ evenings and talking to teachers, how to read your child’s report.

The course can be run over 5 to 8 weeks, depending on parents’ needs. Each session is 2½ hours long and suitable for up to 16 adults.
