Help yourself; help your child!
If you are a parent or carer of school-age children, family learning might interest you. We take time to explore curriculum content, teaching methods and wider resources so you and your children can enjoy learning together.
Family learning delivers free courses in schools, family hubs and other community venues across Cornwall and online. Courses usually run for 4 – 6 weeks and sessions are 1 – 2 hours in length. Some courses are for adults and children; some are for adults only.
Courses are designed to help parents and carers understand the school curriculum, support their children's learning and meet other people in a similar situation. Topics include outdoor learning; resources around the home; communication skills; supporting reading and writing; digital, computer and coding skills; mental arithmetic strategies and written calculations in maths.
Tutors work flexibly to meet the needs of the group and the school/partner they are working with. Building confidence and resilience, sharing and extending knowledge, and developing skills are all part of it.
"Excellent course, fantastic tutor, great opportunity to get back to learning."
