Family Learning
Family Learning provides a range of activities and programmes where adults and children are involved in learning. All courses are designed to raise the skills of adults and increase their confidence. Many adults work towards “Skills for life” qualifications which support their progression into further learning and employment.
The 12 hour courses of literacy and numeracy that we have held as St Edmund’s are designed to develop basic literacy and numeracy as well as support their children’s learning at school.
The Family Learning courses that have run at St Edmund’s have been an enormous success for families – parents have gained confidence, and self esteem has risen for parents and children that have completed the joint courses which have run for literacy and numeracy.
These courses run for 15 weeks where parents have gained level 1 or level 2 in English and Numeracy!
Here is some feedback from parents who have attended the courses:-

Celebration Event
Parents’ Celebration Event
Rational and Brief Description
As Parental Involvement Worker at St Edmund’s I felt the need to celebrate all our parents achievements this year as we had an amazing group that were so proud of their own personal achievements.
This resulted in a Parents’ Celebration Event held at the end of the summer term.
Impact and Outcomes
All parents that attended parent courses with 90% attendance or over were invited to attend the event.
A high percentage of the invited parents attended the event as we were able to offer crèche places.
Ann-Marie and I presented the certificates and talked about our parents’ achievements, and how their journey can develop.
The group was in high spirits as we watched a slide show of them and their children growing together through the year.
Reflection
As this event was such a success we have decided to make this a termly event.
