Raising Children

Details
Category: Child and Family Support

The Raising Children Together Programme was started at St Mary’s in 2010, and has been highly valued and successful with our parents.  Our services are designed to meet the needs of families with multiple, and/or complex needs.

"I have enjoyed every session of this course.  I have learnt so much and feel more confident in my ability as a parent and feel as though I
connect with my children and have stronger bonds with them now, as I understand them
better.  I’ve had a lot of fun while doing the course and met some really lovely people."
Parent attendee.


This programme is NOT for bad parents!  It is for parents who want to be the best they can be.  None of us are perfect parents, and at times we all need ideas and tips on how to support our children in today’s world.
At St Mary’s School we have been inviting our parents to spend time with us, sharing their expertise as parents for six years.  In a fun, welcoming environment, we explore how children develop and share tips and ideas that can raise their confidence and self esteem.  We consider how to handle challenging behaviour and to motivate our children to engage in every opportunity available to them.

An eleven week course is offered to Mums and a seven week course is offered to Dads (apparently Mums talk more!). It starts in September each year.  There is even the opportunity for gaining a Level 1
qualification in parenting - a great attribute if you are considering working within the childcare/school environment. Places are limited so please contact the Family Support Team to find out more and sign up now.

Workshops

During the school year we invite parents into workshops on topics such as:

  • Sibling Rivalry
  • Sleep
  • Bedwetting
  • Growing independence and being home alone
  • Sex & Relationships (yes really!)
  • Love Languages
  • Puberty
  • E-Safety
  • How to Support Your Child At Home with: Maths, English, Reading
  • Raising Self Esteem
  • Bullying/Supporting Positive Friendships
If you would like a workshop on a specific topic—please JUST ASK and we will do our best to support this.

TO FIND OUT MORE:
Watch the St Mary’s Academy Weekly Roundup for information on when these sessions are taking place, as well as parenting tips and advice.

We use cookies in order to improve your user experience by enabling our website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’).
 
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, storing your preferences, and generally improving your experience of the website. Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. If a website doesn’t use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site – for example, when you enter your login details and move to another page it won’t recognise you and it won’t be able to keep you logged in.

Some websites will also use cookies to enable them to target their advertising or marketing messages based for example, on your location and/or browsing habits. We do not do this.
 
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (‘first party cookies’) or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing (‘third party cookies’). 
 

What is in a cookie?

 
A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server and only that server will be able to retrieve or read the contents of that cookie. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. It will contain some anonymous information such as a unique identifier and the site name and some digits and numbers. It allows a website to remember things like your preferences or what’s in your shopping basket.
 

What to do if you don’t want cookies to be set

 
Some people find the idea of a website storing information on their computer or mobile device a bit intrusive, particularly when this information is stored and used by a third party without them knowing. Although this is generally quite harmless you may not, for example, want to see advertising that has been targeted to your interests. If you prefer, it is possible to block some or all cookies, or even to delete cookies that have already been set; but you need to be aware that you might lose some functions of that website. 
 

If you don’t want to receive cookies, you can modify your browser so that it notifies you when cookies are sent to it or you can refuse cookies altogether. You can also delete cookies that have already been set. If you wish to restrict or block web browser cookies which are set on your device then you can do this through your browser settings; the Help function within your browser should tell you how. Alternatively, you may wish to visit www.aboutcookies.org, which contains comprehensive information on how to do this on a wide variety of desktop browsers.
