Functional English Course

We are pleased to announce that we will be running our successful and popular functional English course again for families with pupils at Stanburn Primary. Families have told us that this course has been highly beneficial. If you, or a family you know, would be interested, please contact the School Office.  

Reading Together Parent Course

In Stanburn we believe in promoting a love for reading not only for our children but also for their families and for this reason we are offering a free new course for parents called Reading Together. This is an exciting opportunity for you to work in partnership with the school.

The aims of this course are to:

•  Improve confidence in reading with your child
•  Learn fun creative ways to increase your child’s interest in reading together
•  Share ideas about stories and books
•  Make puppets/pop-up books, and a tactile storyboard to enhance a story

This is a 7 week course.

Please note: Attendance at all sessions is compulsory.

Please do not hesitate to contact the school office if you would like more information about this course. We look forward to welcoming you on our course soon!

Nurturing Parenting Programme

Following the success of our previous Parenting Programme, we are pleased to announce that we are able to provide more. This course will deliver a valuable opportunity to share and develop skills and understanding about the importance of parenting and has been highly recommended to us by other local Primary Schools. Below are few quotes from parents who attended previous sessions:

•  'I am able to understand my children more. I react in a positive & encouraging manner.'
•  'I have become more of a listener and a lot more calmer. I feel more in control.'
•  'I have become more self aware, patient and encouraging toward the children and situations.'
•  ' More aware of how to deal with behavioural problems'

This 10 session weekly course helps parents of children 4-12 years old by offering many positive, practical and fun ways of guiding children so they can manage their feelings and behaviour. Based on the four core principles of  self-reflection, positive discipline, empathy and appropriate expectations, the course helps parents to focus on understanding your own child’s emotional needs and build good communication and practical strategies to  manage behaviour. Due to high demand of the course there are only ten spaces available.
