Family Learning Testimonials

Hear what our learners say about their experiences with Family Learning courses.

I joined the Adult Education courses because I wanted to get out of the house and start to learn again. My anxiety had got so bad that going anywhere without someone I knew was a massive trigger for me. We had some awful times as a family, with different people and it was time to make a change and create something positive in our lives. The courses at the school were ideal for me because the Story Sacks courses involved the children, and they were held somewhere I knew. It was nice to be able to do something productive and educational with my children, but also for me, it was nice to learn and build up a bit of confidence in my knowledge again after being out of education so long. I also wanted to show my children that it's never too late to go back to learning, and every step counts. I want them to be proud of me and I want a better life for all of us. I don't want them ever to doubt that they can do anything they put their minds to.

Engaging in Family Learning courses has boosted my confidence and broadened my perspective. These courses have not only equipped me with new parenting knowledge but also provided a supportive environment. As a new parent, the courses have been invaluable in helping me to support my family and open up to other parents. My Family Learning tutor's approach has made my learning journey feel personalised and empowering, and she has helped me feel more confident about my future.

I have learnt with Family Learning both online and also at a children's centre. Learning English has enabled me to be more independent in my daily life. Before attending the course, I wasn't very confident and I didn't have any friends. The course enabled me to make many friends and feel part of a group. I passed my ESOL exams and now I can work. The best thing has been increasing my confidence and I am now also able to help my daughters with their homework.

Fun at Family Learning events

Family Learning have worked in partnership with children's centres Reconnect events. We ran craft workshops alongside our balloon modeller which drew huge crowds. Lots of fun was had! Here is one of the children who came along and enjoyed making a balloon animal.

Headcorn Animal Antics Family Day

Over 200 families attended a Family event in Headcorn, organised by the Children's centre. The Family Learning Team provided a vibrant musical activity to keep the crowds happy and singing along. There was face painting, balloon modelling, quizzes and of course Easter hunts. Lots of fun was had by all despite the wet weather!

We are incredibly grateful for the Autism Awareness course delivered by Family Learning at our school. This invaluable session fostered connectedness and confidence among our families, offering inclusivity and empowerment. The tutor demonstrated remarkable skill in ensuring every participant felt heard and validated, creating a safe and trusting environment. Thank you for this meaningful opportunity.

I just wanted to share how fantastic the tutor from Family Learning was. The First Aid course was incredibly well organised and engaging for families. It was a lovely session, and everyone really enjoyed it.

The Happy Thoughts Jar session was captivating! Both children and parents engaged enthusiastically and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The tutor was AMAZiNG! This was a very valuable experience, and we look forward to more Family Learning in school again.
