 5 week course (Tuesdays) Starting Tuesday 20 September 08:45 - 11:15 What is The Parenting Children Course? The Parenting Children Course was developed in 1990 by Nicky and Sila Lee (authors of ‘The Parenting Book) for parents and care-givers looking for practical support to strengthen their family relationships. Over five sessions, the course will help you to:
Who is it for? The Parenting Children Course is for parents, step-parents or carers of children in Reception to Year 6. The course is for every type of parenting situation including parenting on your own, step-parenting and parenting as a couple. The Parenting Children Course is based on Christian principles but designed for all parents, with or without a church or faith background. What can I expect? On The Parenting Children Course you can meet other parents and carers with children of a similar age. Each session begins with refreshments (including breakfast on the first week!), giving you space to relax and chat to other parents or carers followed by a practical talk and a time for discussion in groups. Each participant will receive a course book. A DVD talk is shared which includes street interview, filmed clips of parents and children sharing their own experiences and advice from parenting experts. There is also an opportunity to discuss parenting issues with other parents and the course facilitators. How much does it cost? There is no charge for The Parenting Children Course. It’s FREE! If you book in for the course and are unable to attend, you must let the course facilitators know in advance, otherwise there will be a £5 charge. This is to ensure that valuable resources are not wasted. The course is being funded and supported by The Exchange Church which meets each week in the school. How to book a place? You can book a place using the form below or through the school office directly.

 We are delighted that we are able to offer guitar lessons to children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 in partnership with ‘Guitar in Schools’.
Learning a musical instrument is a huge commitment from parents and children, but is massively rewarding. The lessons will take place during school time, but each child will be expected to practice each day at home. All the details about the tuition, the costs involved, and the lessons can be found on the 'Guitar in Schools' website.You can also enrol online. If you have any questions about learning the guitar in school, please do not hesitate to contact us.  What is Breakfast Club?
