A pilot parenting programme has been launched in the district.

Herts for Learning has launched Parent2Parent- a programme that will provide practical ways for parents to support learning through family life.

The programme is being piloted in eight schools across London Colney and St Albans - including London Colney Primary School, St Bernadette Catholic Primary School, Bowmansgreen Primary School, Samuel Ryder Academy, Colney Heath JMI School, Nicholas Breakspear Catholic School, Prae Wood Primary School and Mandeville Primary School.

Through the programme, Herts for Learning will share with parents a number of simple, proven and effective tools that they can adopt to help their child to be the best learner they can be, and will provide manageable and practical ways of supporting learning through family life.

Parent2Parent will launch across Hertfordshire and will be available to all Hertfordshire schools in Spring 2015.
