Family Learning - Going to Secondary School Workshop for ESOL Parents

What will I learn?

On this FREE online (2-hour) workshop you will work with the tutor and other ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) parents and carers to improve your understanding of secondary education in England and to learn how you can support your child who is about to start or who has just started in secondary education

You will also improve your English language skills. You will cover a range of topics that may include:

• Digital skills: using Zoom
• Differences between primary and secondary education
• Tips on how you as a parent can help your child settle in
• Potential concerns around transition from primary to secondary and how to
deal with them
