Family learning is a whole range of free activities and programmes where parents, carers, grandparents, children and teachers are involved in learning together.
The activities are designed to help parents, carers, grandparents and children to enjoy learning, have fun and a chance to keep up to date with your child's learning.

Examples of courses available

Family numeracy (family health) - aims to provide information about how children are taught maths, activities to improve maths skills for parents and children and activities to promote a healthy lifestyle
Story bags- Reading and craft activities for families with pre-school children
Share (learning together) - encourages interaction between family members. They work together on activities, such as making learning games, within a session and continue to play at home.
