As a school, we recognise that a number of the adults in our families may not have had the educational opportunities that their children are getting. This means that they fell unable to support their child in their learning and often creates a barrier to the adults getting involved with school, and even just coming to school events.

To begin to address these barriers, we are proud to be working with ATTFE, Inspire and West Notts College to provide a number of courses across the school year for any family member of our children. Over the years this has included an art diploma, first aid, maths and coping with anxiety to name a few. Some of the courses are planned around the learning that our children are accessing and so they will be joining their family members too. Please see the details for each course to choose the right one for you and how to book onto it.

Our catering company, Aspens, offer a session every half term teaching families how to 'Feed a Family for Under a Fiver'. Children join family members to learn how to make a meal and take home the ingredients and recipe to recreate their culinary masterpiece that evening. A huge 'Thank you' to Apses for this, especially as they provide the ingredients for our families free!! If you would like to be included in these sessions, please let our office staff know and we will add you to the list.

The years courses have now finished due to the building work in the EYFS building reducing the available space we have, but on't panic, planning for next year (25/26) has begun and we will be offering:

Maths Multiplier

Literacy skills

Managing finances - adult and adult/child sessions separately

Coping with Anxiety

Transition to secondary schools - what you need to know as a parent

Keep an eye out for the course details that will come out before the summer holiday.
