| Why it works: - Children tend to do better when schools have extended their services. - Concentration, behaviour and achievement levels can improve. - Being part of a club or tem, with interesting activities before or after school, can help motivation, self-confdient and self esteem. - Children's behaviour and attitiude to learning can improve. - Family learning and 'Keep up with the Kids' sessions can strengthen bonds. (Ref Publicising your extended services - A toolkit for schools,local authorities and their partners DCSF-00786-2008) - Increased self-confidence and confidence to support children’s learning - Without family support, a child's formal education is an uphill struggle. There is evidence that family learning can overcome difficulties associated with a disadvantaged background for both parents and children. - Family learning schemes are often a second chance for parents, and grandparents, to return to learning, creating a host of fresh opportunities to pursue previously thwarted ambitions.
