Stay and Learn- Learning Together
We all want our children to be successful learners who can make a positive contribution. Effective partnership between home and school is key to these aspirations as Parents and carers are the most important influence in a child's life. Amazingly, research identifies at age 7, a parent’s influence on a child’s learning is 6 times that of their school and even at 11 years old, it is 29% greater. Increased involvement can raise achievement by at least 18%. No involvement means low or no qualifications at 16. We are committed to the further development of home/school links at Henry Whipple Primary School.
To develop these links, we hold regular ‘learning together’ events in school.
These events are a chance for parents and carers to come into school to see how their children learn in a classroom environment while learning skills themselves to continue at home. We believe that this way, children have the best possible chance to achieve their best.
Feedback from these events have been extremely positive with some saying :-
“ I now have a better understanding of what my child has to do to achieve their targets”
A parent of a child in year 3
“This session has helped my child use different vocabulary in his literacy. I will be able to help him use different words and make better sentences in his writing at home”
A parent of a child in year 4
“The sessions are a fun and exciting way for parents to become involved in school life. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed it” A parent of a child in year 1
We hope that you can join us at our learning together events that we have planned this year.
