C3.13

The Pears Family School is a unique educational asset in London. An innovative aspect of the current programme is that it requires a parent or significant adult family member to participate in the classroom with their child. Thirty children, each with their parent or carer, attend at any one time, creating what is known as a multi-family group in the classroom. The focus is on families helping themselves and each other to create the conditions and changes necessary so that their children can resolve their problems and be better equipped to return to school as functioning learners. Therapeutic techniques are embedded in all aspects of the teaching and learning programme.

This session will focus on Pears Family School partnership working with Olive AP Academies, bringing the idea of a multi-family group to new settings.
