Family Learning Courses in Newham

The Family Learning service provides a wide selection of courses, half-term workshops and family fun days for mums, dads, grandparents, carers and their children.

We are enrolling now for courses starting in September 2021!

Parents are able to learn or improve their English, Maths, ICT, Employability and Parenting skills. The service also supports parents by guiding them through their child’s education and helping their children to do even better at school.

Adult learners can continue onto another course within Our Newham Learning & Skills, or take up volunteering or employment.

You can join a Family Learning course at one of the many sites across the borough including schools, nurseries and children’s centres during weekdays and at Our Newham Learning & Skills Centres on Saturdays. There are also workshops and activities during half term and summer holidays in libraries and in Our Newham Learning & Skills Centres.
