Parents make a vital contribution to their children's education, and strong partnerships between schools and parents can enhance children's learning.

Family and Parents Institute

At School

Bringing schools and parents together equals academic and social success for children which is why our successful parenting seminars are endorsed by schools and nurseries. Our seminars have been developed in conjunction with teachers exprienced in early years learning and draw on child behaviour and developmental research.


We deliver a range of parenting tools via our 90 minute seminars to parents within tha familiar enviroment of the school community. With the strategies learned in the seminars, parents help children grow in confidence and resilience, try new things, persevere and do well both academically and socially. Parents learn how to support children in academic, artistic and sporting endeavours without pressureing them.

VALUABLE

 

I wanted to thank you personally for a hugely well received talk and discussion for parents last night on girls and their emotions - a rich topic indeed. The attendance was at the highest level yet for these evenings - clearly your reputation has spread!”

 

Clarissa Farr, High Mistress, St Pauls Girls' School, London

 

 

 

Thank you so very much on behalf of Highgate Pre-Prep for delivering a hugely informative evening for helping to get the best out of one's children .
As you know this was our first of this kind and the feedback we have had already has been very enthusiastic. Parents definitely want help/advice and you delivered this in such a professional, humorous and kindly way that the message went down very well. As you realized we follow these principals already so it was super to hear them from another source.

INSPIRING

Thank you very much  for the inspiring talk that you gave to our parents. It really was first class and has enabled our parents to consider the importance of an emotional education in conjunction with an academic one. The feedback from our parents has all been resoundingly positive with a general cry for more workshops, so I feel sure we shall be working with you and The Parent Practice again.

Kate Simon, Head of Garden House School, London

 

I wanted to thank you hugely for your presentation - it was exactly right for our school and our parents; your style was lively and encouraged the interaction which is evidenced in their evaluations and the conversations afterwards.  I would be very happy for you to pass on my details for any of your future potential bookings should the school want a recommendation

Cathy Dales, Assistant Head, Farnborough Hill School

VALUABLE

I believe The Parent Practice engages parents in a world of value and principle-led parenting that can lead to emotional literacy and healthy relationships for parents and their children. This is such a valuable thing in a world that has taught some in the past to be more concerned about results, which so often misses the essence of learning.

Adrian Floyd, Headmaster Finton House School

EMPATHY

The Parent Practice has now delivered 2 workshops to our local cluster of schools. Each presentation has been received positively and with huge enthusiasm by our parents. Their clear principles, empathy with the difficulties of parenting and the simple yet effective techniques they suggest have been whole-heartedly welcomed by our parenting community. The Parent Practice offers very practical solutions to the demands of parenting in today’s world.

Patricia Beechey, Head Teacher, Oatlands Primary School, Weybridge

Thank you very much for the talk 'Bringing Out The Best In Your Children'. Those who came went away all fired up with ideas and several parents have come and asked if we may host some more! They are spreading the word around the playground, so I will be in touch again soon.  

 

Philippa Jackson, Headteacher Hollymount Primary School, Merton, London

SUCCESS

We couldn't believe how quickly the evening sold out! Thank you so much, the feedback forms showed it was an overwhelming 'yes' for more talks. Consider the evening a great success.

POSITIVE

It gave me a chance to look at my parenting from a different perspective and see how I can be more positive.
