How parents/carers make a difference:

Parents, carers and family members are the most important influences on children's lives. You can make a difference to your child's learning by talking to them about what they have been learning, discussing the progress they have made and helping them to set realistic goals for what they would like to achieve next. You can find out how your child is doing at school through parent/carer meetings and through reports and personal learning plans.

Schools are encouraging children to take more responsibility for their own learning and as they progress through school for the choices that they make.  

Education today involves more than just learning facts and figures. To give children the skills they will need for the 21st century they are learning:

How to learn
How to set personal goals
How to recognise and monitor their own progress
How to identify their aims and ambitions
How to develop independence
To have confidence in themselves

You can find out more about your child's learning on Parentzone.
