PARENT ACADEMY

Every parent wants to know how they can support their child’s learning. That’s why we set up Parent Academy, a series of webinars delivered by experts and academics for families at our school.

Everyone is welcome!

Our Parent Academy programme covers the topics that families tell us they'd like more information about. We’ll be expanding the programme over time, so keep checking back for the latest info. If there's something you'd like us to include, however, please get in touch.

The webinar events listed on this page are open to our current parent community.
