Parental help at home with your daughter's learning plays a significant role in academic attainment and achievement. Parents sometimes find it difficult to know how to help their daughter to progress and can even lack the confidence that is necessary to help your daughter achieve. The information that is contained within the following websites can offer invaluable help in providing necessary assistance. Some of the topics that you will discover on the 'Helping your child to learn' website include:
- The ‘Every Parent Matters’ leaflet for parents that has plenty of ideas on how you can help with your daughters learning
- Hints and tips to help develop your child’s Literacy skills
- Hints and tips to help develop your child’s Numeracy skills and ways in which everyday activities can develop maths skills
- Helping your child with homework, revision and coursework
There is even information regarding financial support for parents and common parental concerns about how there daughter is progressing.
The 'Need to know learning' website is a more general educational website, but is still useful in helping parents understand more about how there daughter can learn. A screen shot is below.

SAM Learning is a website that provides excellent materials to help your daughter with their English, Maths and Science studies. It is widely used in Key Stage Four and also in Year Nine at The Avonbourne School.
