Family learning courses
Family learning programmes help adults develop the necessary skills to support their child’s English and maths. They allow families to learn together in a fun relaxed environment while improving wellbeing and increasing cultural awareness.
Bring your child(ren) and participate in various activities from woodwork, pottery, poetry, film, fashion, using a computer, crafts, arts and animation, music, dance, sewing and salsa. We regularly run sessions after school and during half-term and holidays for families to learn a new skill and to take time out to enjoy being creative together. Most family learning courses are free, but some classes charge a £5 materials fee.
We also have courses to help you to support your school-aged child(ren) or grandchild(ren). These courses will enable you to help them do well at school and achieve more by supporting your progress and achievement in English, maths and languages.
Courses run in various venues across the borough, including schools, children’s centres, libraries and voluntary organisations and at the Thomas Calton Centre in Peckham.
If you'd like a course delivered to your venue, email adult.learning@southwark.gov.uk to discuss your ideas.
