The LPPA aims to support schools and settings in addressing the areas they find most challenging in terms of parent partnership. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Knowing what you want to achieve through parent partnership.
- How to make your school or setting genuinely welcoming to parents and carers.
- How to communicate really effectively with parents and carers.
- How to get all parents and carers involved with the school – particularly the ‘harder to reach’.
- How to engage all staff in working effectively with parents and carers.
- How to support parents and carers so they can really help with their children’s learning.
- Finding time to plan and organise events and activities to engage parents.
- Coping with limited physical space and resources.
- How to best use information and communications technology to enhance parent partnership.
- Increasing parental engagement in the context of the safeguarding agenda.
- Knowing how well you are doing and the impact parent partnership is having on pupils’ and students’ achievement.
We can support you to address all of these areas through the framework of LPPA Objectives. Our LPPA advisers and trainers will focus on the priorities/needs of each individual school/setting to develop your parental engagement strategy.
