Sponsors and Partners
The Family Learning Festival is a national campaign that aims to raise its profile through the media and with opinion formers as well as by reaching organisers and families. One of the ways in which we do this is by linking in with key partners that run similar campaigns or that have related aims and objectives. This helps us to provide a wider range of resources as well as reaching more organisations that might be interested in getting involved.
Please find more information about our partners below. In order to make the most of your event you can use resources and ideas from both our partners and the Campaign for Learning. Remember to ensure that you register your event with the Family Learning Festival and other relevant partners to ensure that you get maximum publicity and promotion for your event.

Campaign for Learning welcomes Ofsted report on family learning
Family learning, where children and parents engage together in learning sessions, leads to improved communication, confidence and interpersonal skills in children according to a recent Ofsted report. Children also settled in better in class and had improved relationships with teachers and other children following the sessions. The report found that family learning can also lead to qualifications and employment for parents and give them the confidence and skills to help their child. The Chief Inspector recommends that family learning should be promoted as a core school activity. Read the full report.
