Home School Partnership’s role is to support and engage mums, dads and other carers in their children’s education and learning in South Lanarkshire.
To support mums, dads and carers in their own learning and to be positive learning role models for their children, Home School Partnership also develops and runs a number of adult learning programmes. From Positive Parenting; Promoting Self Esteem in your Child and Speakeasy (an accredited programme looking at talking to children about relationships and growing up) to the practical Computing; First Aid and Food Hygiene courses we aim to meet the learning needs of families. For more information on our range of actvities check out the programme tag to the left.
