2026/27 Family Learning Courses

Learn Together, Create Memories Together

Family Learning is about much more than education. It provides a welcoming environment where families can spend quality time together while developing new skills, building confidence and supporting children's learning. Our courses are designed to strengthen family relationships, encourage communication and inspire a lifelong love of learning.

Whether you're getting creative with arts and crafts, exploring science and engineering projects, or gaining valuable parenting insights, there is something for every family in the new programme.

Discover STEM Through Fun and Exploration

For families who love experimenting, building and discovering how things work, the programme includes a range of engaging STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) activities designed to make learning exciting and accessible. Courses include:

• Little Builders and Boffins
• Rocket Making
• Engineering and construction challenges
• Science-based family activities

These practical sessions help children develop problem-solving, critical thinking and teamwork skills while encouraging curiosity about the world around them. Adults often discover that they're learning just as much as the children.
