Crucially, it provides a continuous learning journey from childhood to school, through to adolescence and adulthood supported by our coordinated Family, Schools, and Life-Long Learning Programmes.

The Family Programme is grounded in the principles of Family Learning and all our provision strives to engage with and develop the relationships between family members of all ages through enjoyable and creative activities.
