Family Learning

 

Torbay Family Learning is part of the Adult & Community Learning section at South
Devon College.

 

Family Learning can help parents/carers to understand more about how their children learn and encourages adults and children to learn as a family (by the term ‘family’ we mean at least one parent, adult carer, grandparent, aunt, uncle, older brother or sister working with a child under 16 years of age).


What can we offer families?

  • Opportunities to enjoy learning and gain new skills
  • Help and ideas so that parents/carers can feel involved in their child’s education and be better able to support them at home
  • Free courses, which are delivered in a wide range of subjects, in various locations across Torbay


Family Learning is ideal for parents and carers who wish to:

  • Understand how children learn and how you can encourage and motivate them
  • Improve their own skills and confidence
  • Improve job prospects and gain qualifications
  • Meet new friends!
  • Courses are fun and informal – come and find out for yourself!
  • Courses offered include:
  • Communication skills – the importance of speaking and listening
  • Developing children's early reading, writing and number skills
  • Making resources to support learning
  • 'Keeping up with the children' courses aims to look at how children are taught English and maths, and how you can support that learning
  • Healthy eating
  • Parenting programmes for help in dealing with all those awkward moments!

 

Plus many more…
