The team facilitates Primary and Early Years FLAGS. As you can view on our FLAG video, these termly meetings provide an opportunity for all Primary and Early Years staff involved in family learning to share good practice and build collegial relationships. Each meeting is themed around the needs of members, and over the last few years we have covered various topics, working in partnership with community organisations and Education colleagues (our Guest Speakers), who bring and share their knowledge. Topics have included:
- Family ESOL
- Family Learning for P4-7
- Poverty Awareness and Cost of School Day Initiatives
- Funding Opportunities
- Transitions
- ASN Family Support and Parent Peer Support Groups
What our colleagues have said about the FLAG sessions:
‘These sessions always give me a feel-good factor, I leave feeling supported and energised’, Primary Teacher, Sandwood Primary.,
‘I learned so much about agencies who can support our families experiencing poverty today. I’m going to go back to school and talk to the Headteacher about new Cost of School Day initiative’s we could put in place’ Family Support Worker.
‘I found this meeting perfect and it was great knowing what is next on the agenda. I took away some new contacts that I could use to further support our families. I always feel so valued and welcome at these meetings so thank you’ Depute Head of Centre, Molendinar FLC.
These are our FLAG Dates for the 2025-2026 session:
