"Family learning is a powerful method of engagement and learning which can foster positive attitudes towards life-long learning, promote socio-economic resilience and challenge educational disadvantage."
Family Learning Network 2015
Family learning is about engaging families in learning together and is about empowering families to take control.
We strive to provide support for pupils and parents/carers at all times to ensure they always feel valued and supported. Opportunities are planned in conjunction with Family Support to encourage adults and children to work together and learn together, with a focus on modelling positive interactions. Parents/carers will be invited to share in pupil learning/success throughout the year.
Family learning opportunities are considered as a bridge between informal home learning and formal school learning. The learning family ‘supports parents/carers and wider family members to be active participants in their children’s learning as well as learners in their own right’, and recognises that both elements are crucial in building resilience in families.
