Parent Workshops

At Holbrook School, we offer a range of workshops that provide information, support and guidance to parents and carers. Some of the sessions will help you to understand how the children are taught certain subjects and what you can do to help at home. Please take a look at the events planned this term - we would love to see you there!

In case you are unable to attend any of the workshops, Powerpoint and handout materials are available on request as they are completed. Please contact the school if you would like further information about any presentations that have been held.
