Afterwards, you will receive:
• A certificate recognising participation in a national technology competition
• A completed project or prototype suitable for portfolios or applications
• Experience presenting ideas and solutions
• Exposure to potential technology career pathways

Dear Parent

Attached is the FACE Family Advice timetable for April 2026.

FACE offers parents practical advice, information and support, across a wide range of topics, including supporting neurodiverse children, understanding emotions and managing behaviour.

Go to facefamilyadvice.co.uk Go to PARENTS – Live talks page.

To access the talks free of charge, please contact school to receive the access code.
This can be used by any parents from our school for unlimited access to all the regular FACE Parent Talks (usually £24 each). The code cannot be used on any other FACE services and must not be shared with parents from other schools.

At the payment stage of booking, add the school code where it says ADD PROMO CODE. This will drop the price from £24 to £0.
