What is HALS Family Learning? It is free learning for parents and

carers in schools and children’s centres. Some crèche places may
be available for parents with pre-school children.

As mums, dads, granddads, grandmas, aunties, uncles and carers,

you are your child’s most important teachers. We also know you
may have very different educational backgrounds. You may have
left school with no qualifications, have forgotten skills learnt at
school or would like to simply refresh your knowledge.

You may have also realised that schools teach children in very
different ways now from when you were at school. Family Learning
will introduce you to the school curriculum so that you can support
your child without confusing him or her with different methods you
may know.
Did you hate maths at school? But did you know that maths is
everywhere, when you get up and get the children ready for school,
go shopping or plan a trip? You and your children are using maths.
Maths for children is all about playing ‘counting on’, ‘halving’,
‘doubling’ and ‘sharing’. English is about creating stories, dressing
up and acting out different roles.

There are plenty of everyday activities and games we can show you
to make it ‘fun’ for you and your children to learn.
You could also learn computer skills along the way!

If English is not your first language, don’t worry, we can help

you develop your skills on Family Language courses which will help
you support your child. If you don’t have a qualification in English
or maths you may get one with us at the same time!

Learning on 020 8489 4772.
