Does your child show an aptitude and passion for dance?


As the parent of a young dancer you will know the value of quality, challenging and particularly, safe training. The Lodge School of Theatre Dance is unlike many others. Each syllabus class is taught by qualified RAD and ISTD teachers, in purpose built dance studios in Earley. Principal Sarah-Jane Bullock is passionate about the ‘quality not quantity’ ethos at the school, where strong technique is foremost, enabling every child to reach their full potential. With former pupils studying at full time vocational schools such as Elmhurst, Laine Theatre Arts, Bird College, Urdang and Performers, the results speak for themselves.

Foster Carers needed for children in West Berkshire


Do you have a spare room? Are you aged 21 or over? Do you have childcare experience? West Berkshire Council needs more foster carers to provide homes for West Berkshire children from babies through to teenagers, sibling groups and children with additional needs or disabilities. You can help them reach their full potential. They would like to hear from people who feel that they could provide short-term, long-term, emergency and respite care for children across the local authority.


West Berkshire Children and Family Services have recently been recognised by OFSTED as being Good. They offer a competitive fostering allowance, excellent support and a comprehensive training programme. If you could help, they would love to hear from you.

Kids pedal to success with Bikeability in 2018


The cycling instructors from My Journey, who normally teach Bikeability to children at schools in the Borough, have also been busy helping younger children to master the skills of riding a pedal bike. Last year, the team ran Learn to Ride sessions after school every Thursday at the FBC centre in Finchampstead, for children of school age who are struggling to ride a bike with pedals. The key to their success is to use balance bikes first (bikes with no pedals) to teach the children how to balance, then they progress to riding on their pedal bikes – without the need for stabilisers. During 2018, 141 children attended the Learn to Ride sessions and 95 of them were successfully riding after just one or two sessions – a brilliant 67% success rate which is a fantastic achievement! Check out their website which is packed full of useful of advice for all the family for getting out and about. W: www.myjourneywokingham.com
