Courses for parents, grandparents, carers and their children

Family Learning courses are informative, practical and fun, offering a great opportunity for parents, grandparents, carers and their children to enjoy quality time together learning new skills or maybe rediscovering old ones. We run our courses in local schools, family hubs, faith venues and other community centres. Courses are free of charge in priority locations. Where a community does not meet these criteria, we are very happy to make the same offer at a very competitive price.

Creative courses

Creative courses are an opportunity for parents and carers to have fun making an exciting craft with their child. There are a variety of courses, including two-hour tasters and three-week courses.

English, Maths and Language (ESOL) courses

Courses are for adults who wish to become more involved in their children's learning and enable them to help children acquire English, Maths and language skills. Parents can improve their own skills in English, Maths and language and improve their ability to help their children. Courses are for adults (mothers, fathers, carers and guardians) who do not hold a current level 2 qualification in Maths and English, Grade 4 GCSE (formally Grade C) and above. All courses have an element of parent and child working together except those for adults only.

Parenting courses

Our Parenting courses are not about being a perfect parent - more about discovering that other people's experiences are the same. Parenting courses are not intended to be interventions and the tutor will not tell parents 'how it's done'. Rather, they are discussion-based with time to share experiences, ideas, concerns and possible solutions.
