Norfolk Family Learning Programme

are running a FREE Keeping Up With the Children course at Preston CE VC Primary School, Tasburgh

during the Spring Term.

The short course starts on Tuesday 26th January

from 9.15am – 11.15am and will run for 7 weeks.

A free crèche is available for your pre-schoolers.

This is your chance to take the mystery out of how your child is taught English and Maths at school and to learn ways in which you can support your child’s learning at home.

You do not need to know anything about teaching and learning. The course is free, informal and FUN!

Just a few places still available!

For further information and to book a place on the course please call

Norfolk Family Learning Programme on 01603 430224 or 430223
