Dear Learner
Family Learning courses are engagement courses, helping families move back into learning.
All the courses are funded by the Education and Skills Funding Agency and FREE to eligible learners*. Priority for places is given to new learners.
*To be eligible you must be able to answer ’yes’ to BOTH questions below:
1. Have been living in the UK or an EEA country continuously for at least 3 years prior to their learning start date
And
2. Are a UK or Irish national or have pre-settled or settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme
Learners can attend up to TWO Family Learning courses per academic year. Funding allows for one Parenting OR craft course AND one Family English, maths or Language course.
Please do not enrol unless you are confident that you will attend, as any no shows could have benefitted another family.
************
This online course is for Mothers, fathers and carers with children aged 4 to 11 years.

Familiarise adults with a range of new calculation methods and mental maths strategies currently used to teach maths in primary schools.
