Dear Parent and Carer,

I hope this letter finds you and your family well.  During this period of lockdown we are very aware of the additional pressure on families and we've been looking at ways to support you.  Managing learning at home, supporting mental health and well-being are all additional challenges in this current situation.

Starting on Thursday 30 April, in association with Action Your Potential, we are running 10 weeks of webinars for parents and students all about the amazing human brain.  They're 40 min webinars with opportunities for questions at the end.  Each session will end with strategies to support learning or well-being which participants will be encouraged to try out between sessions.  If you can't make all the webinars, you can catch up with them via recordings which are available for a limited period of time afterwards via a website.

The webinars run between 7 - 7:45pm every week.  The full programme is below.  Our aim is to offer support to you and your children in learning all about your amazing brain.   Each session offers deep insights into how our brain works and how to get more out of it.  As the programme builds it will support you and your child to apply key strategies in the construction of a daily plan to support well-being, mental health and maximise learning.  You can access the sessions on a phone, tablet or laptop.

If you would like to sign yourself and your son or daughter up to these totally free webinars then click on the link.  Action Your Potential will only use your data for the purposes of informing you about this programme and will be in touch explaining how to join the first webinar shortly.  We take your privacy seriously and comply with all UK General Data Protection Regulations.

Be A Neuro-Ninja Programme for Parents, Carers and Students at TKAT Family Of Schools

We’ve learnt more about our amazing brains in the last 10 years than we have in the last 10,000.  This is stuff none of us ever learnt at school.  Once we understand our amazing brains we can help our children to become neuro-ninjas, living inside their brains in ways that help them get more out of learning and life every day.

Q: What’s a Neuro-Ninja? 

A: Someone who lives in their brain knowing how it works and how to get the very best out of it.   By learning about our amazing brains we can help our children become unstoppable in pursuit of their dreams.
