Parents of students in the Bedlington partnership have attended a super learning day workshop at Bedlingtonshire Community High School.
The workshop, which was part delivered by year 9 and 10 students looked at enquiry learning and parental involvement.
Amy Robson, a year 10 students at Bedlington High School helped lead the session, she told us, "I was a bit nervous at the start, after all, it's not every day that you have to stand up and teach a group of parents."
"We delivered a workshop on enquiry learning and how it's different to the learning that may have taken place when these parents were at school. They all found it really interesting."
The project, part funded by the Creative Partnership Programme through Tyne and Wear Museums also looked at how parents engage with their children at home and support learning outside school.
School principal, Kieran McGrane told us why these sessions were important. "People underestimate the impact that home learning and parental support can have in the success of child. Here at Bedlington, we work with parents and allow the sharing of good practice between parents, students and staff so that everyone has a voice."
