Learn together
Family learning is a fun and creative way of learning with your children and supporting their education.
Free family learning courses
If you’re looking for fun and beneficial ways to spend time learning together as a family, we offer free family learning courses for mums, dads and grandparents to learn with their children.
We provide a wide range of interesting and accessible classes where adults can learn alongside their children.
They also give you a chance to share ideas with other parents and develop your own skills. Our programmes also help you to progress to a further course in english and maths.
You also benefit by understanding how children learn and how best to support them.
All of our learning locations create a positive, welcoming and relaxed environment in which families can have fun learning together.
All programmes include opportunities for adults to get information, advice and guidance on how you can go further with your own learning and how you can get support for any literacy, language or numeracy need.
Courses include:
- Family Spanish & languages
- English
- Maths
Supporting you child’s learning
All parents want their children to do well at school and to succeed. However, many simply don’t know where to start.
Everything seems to have changed since your own schooldays, and you don’t want to confuse your children by using different methods to their teacher.
Family Learning can help.
Staffordshire schools deliver family english, maths and language programmes. They will give you the opportunity to find out how they teach things in your child’s school.
