Developing Confident Learners: The Importance of a School-Home Partnership

The workshop was held in the school hall on Thursday, February 17th, and focused on enabling parents and guardians to recognize the signs of anxiety in children and understand its causes. Our dedicated team presented various strategies for parents and guardians to help their children deal with anxiety and develop confidence in their abilities.

At The English School, we firmly believe in the importance of a school-home partnership in fostering confident learners. We can create a supportive environment that encourages children to reach their full potential by working together. We understand that anxiety is a common issue children face, and we are committed to providing parents and guardians with the necessary tools to address it.

We are grateful to all who attended the workshop and shared their insights and experiences. We encourage parents and guardians to continue the conversation at home and keep the lines of communication open with their children's teachers.

Let's continue to work together to benefit our young learners, building healthy minds and confident learners. Thank you for your commitment to our school community.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact The English School TLC. We are always here to support you and your child's educational journey.
