Family and Community Learning
So many people find maths scary. We aim to break down those barriers to learning to help you to realise that maths is not only relevant and useful but also fun! We offer two-hour introductory sessions Maths KS1 and KS2 and Terrific Times Tables. You can then progress onto longer courses where you develop the skills to help your child with maths at primary school, and learn about the current ways of teaching maths (that might be very different to when you were at school). We also have a 10-week maths course for adults who want to work on their own maths skills called Manage Your Maths. Visit our site.
