Primary Business Partnership- Primary School Home Learning Survey

With schools currently closed to most children, support for your children’s learning in the home has become more important. Something which has taken us all by surprise!

The Primary Business Partnership has been making connections for the last 3 years between local businesses and primary schools to support education and increase aspirations.

Our aim is to continue to support children in West Cumbria during this time, including looking at the current Home learning offers and needs.

We are aware that there is a lot of content and providers out there which can be overwhelming. Please complete the questions below with your children so we can help you find the support that works best for you. This survey is aimed at children in Primary School aged 5 - 11 years.

We will keep your answers in confidence and the information you give below will be used to help PBP develop its offer to schools and parents. No personal information will be shared to third parties without prior consent.
