Parental Support

Parental support

 
Bringing up children and young people can be very challenging but it can also be very rewarding for us as parents or carers.
 
Extended Services are keen to offer the support you require by providing various parent courses, parent hints and tips, as well as family learning opportunities (usually free).  Some courses are available in Bedford and some locally within our cluster schools. Please check for dates when courses are running using Extended Services Calendar 
 
In addition to this we also offer access to useful parenting websites.  Please see the list below for various websites that can offer support for you and your family.
