Family learning

Mums, dads and carers are their children’s primary educators. Children and young people spend only 15% of their time in school which leaves 85% of their time spent at home and in the community.

We provide a wide range of opportunities to help engage mums, dads and carers in their own and their children’s learning. These include:

Curricular Programmes

Fun, family friendly activities that directly link into classroom activity such as:

• The Adventures of Ted

• Storysacks

• Fit Future

• Mathswise

• Literacy boxes

• Homework refreshers… and much more!

Parenting Support Programmes

Helping mums, dads and carers in their role as parents:

• Building self esteem in your child

• Managing children’s behaviour

• Speakeasy – talking to your child about growing up, relationships and sex

• Strengthening families… and much more!

 
Family Learning Activities

A diverse range of fun, family activities which explore learning in its widest context, including:

• Programmes for families whose first language is not English (ESOL families project)

• Outdoor Learning – Campcraft

• Family Fun Time

• Family Cookery

• Transition programmes… and much more!

Although we do not have staff in every school in South Lanarkshire , every school can access resources; training and support from the team. Community based programmes are open to all families in the area.
