The popular 'Family Links Nurturing Programme' parenting course will run again in the Autumn Term.  

The programme focuses on supporting parents across a wide range of parenting challenges and will be run in school by Marsha Coppin-Payne and Tracy Cherry.

A coffee morning will take place in the school house on Wednesday 24th September 9am - 10am, where you will have an opportunity to find out more about the programme and sign up.

The programme will then begin on Wednesday 1st October 9-11.30am, running every Wednesday (excluding October half term) and finishing on 10th December. 

The aims of the Nurturing Programme are to:

• Give children and parents an emotionally healthy springboard for their lives and their learning.
• Promote emotional literacy and emotional health.
• Enhance self-esteem, self-awareness, and empathy.
• Provide effective strategies to encourage co-operation, responsible behaviour and manage challenging behaviour in children.
• ‘Children flourish when what they can do matches our expectations of what they ‘should’ be able to do’ (appropriate expectations)
• ‘Understanding how our own childhood experience can affect us as adults’ (Self-awareness)
• ‘Helping children to manage their behaviour with clear boundaries, praise, rewards, fair penalties etc.' makes life more enjoyable for parents and children. (Positive Discipline)
• ‘Children who are treated with empathy and respect will learn to be empathic and respectful towards other people’ (Empathy)
