Learning With Parents

Overview

Learning with Parents support over 20,000 families across the UK to enjoy learning Maths and English together. We partner with schools to reach the most disadvantaged children.

In the UK, not all children have a fair shot at education.

By age 11, a disadvantaged child is on average nine months behind their peers in English and Maths. But it’s about more than just attainment. This child is more likely in their life to be excluded, to become unemployed, have poor health and even to end up in prison.The gap between poor children and their peers has grown further since the pandemic. Schools are doing their best to close it but they cannot do it alone. Only 14% of the gap at age 11 is related to what happens at school.

Only by supporting all parents and carers can we tackle educational inequality and ensure that every child has the chance to fulfil their potential

Learning with Parents support all families to have positive learning interactions together. Learning with Parents drive inclusive parental engagement by partnering with schools and through leading the sector to learn what works.

Schools using the platform can schedule curriculum-aligned topics from Early Years to Year 6. Families are then sent a child-led video and hands-on activities to explore at home. School leaders monitor engagement across the school using their dashboard. Termly impact summaries also highlight engagement and Pupil Premium pupils’ usage to help ensure all families are supported.
