Parents
Parents If you are a parent involved in a 1:1 programme at your child's school - or you would like to encourage your school to launch one - then this section will explain how how our programmes work, demistify some of the terminology and show you how you can get involved.
- Why parents are so important
Why parents are so important
Of course, as parents, you'll know that your influence, support and love for your child will all play a really important part in how your child grows, learns and interacts with others and the world around them. One aspect of your role which is sometimes not so clear is how you support your child with their learning and especially when they are at school.
- What we do
What we do
The role the Learning Foundation plays is not always understood by parents as we tend to work in the background and more closely with schools than parents. Here we hope to de-mystify our role and how we help.
- How technology helps learning
How technology helps learning
Until recently it was strange that teachers and pupils alike tended to leave the technology-enabled lives behind them as they entered the classroom. But now, increasingly schools and educators are seeing and realising the benefits that technology in all its forms can add to the learning experience and to child and school development and management too.
- Understanding Gift Aid
Understanding Gift Aid
If you are a UK tax payer then by signing a Gift Aid declaration you will enable us to add 25% onto the value of your contribution. This helps the school with the administration cost of the programme and ensures that every penny you donate can go towards your children’s learning programme rather than pay for overheads.
- Understanding Direct Debits
Understanding Direct Debits
More than half of all UK bill payers now pay by Direct Debit because it has so many advantages. So what exactly is Direct Debit?
- Safety & Security
Safety & Security
Safety in relation to children having a device to use at home and in school includes a three key areas:- (1) Safety online, (2) Physical safety of the child when they are carrying it around and (3) the protection of the device from damage. This section covers these key areas.
- How we protect your data
