Funded by the Education Endowment Foundation with The Bell Foundation and Unbound Philanthropy and running from July 2016 to July 2018, Family Skills was created to build knowledge about family learning programmes and programmes specifically designed to support children with English as an additional language (EAL).
A 30-hour Family Skills literacy programme was developed for primary schools to:
– improve the literacy and language skills of children learning English as an additional language (EAL)
– help parents of Reception-aged children (aged 4-5) to support their children’s literacy through weekly sessions for families, delivered at the child’s school by external family learning tutors.
Key project statistics
16 delivery partners across England recruited 115 primary schools to receive Family Skills, where 1,985 pupils benefitted from the programme.
