Leading Parent Partnership Award
The Leading Parent Partnership Award gives schools a coherent framework to deliver effective parental engagement from early years through to post-16.
Raising achievement and improving the life skills and independence for our learners by involving parents and carers in the work of our school. By involving yourself in your child’s education is an exciting challenge, with excellent benefits for your child, for you, for the school and for the local community.
We are using the Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA) to help strengthen our school’s partnership with parents/carers. LPPA is a national award that will provide us with a valuable school improvement tool and also give us recognition for our commitment, contribute to improved pupil attendance and punctuality. Also, parent participation and involvement enhances families’ support in their children’s learning and improves communication between home and school.
Charlton Park Academy achieved the leading Parent partnership award in March 2020-2023. The impact of achieving the award includes parents having a voice and having been given a number of opportunities to influence key priorities including the design and development of the school curriculum in the past academic year. Re-assessment of the LPPA will be carried out from March until December 2023
Observations from the report included: The school is working hard to engage parents and support them to support their children in literacy skills, particularly reading. Parents increasingly have more opportunities to be involved and to network with other parents at the school. This is an important supportive factor for parents who might otherwise feel isolated.
Parents along with their children feel a sense of belonging to the school community. Parents know the staff and staff know the parents well and this benefits the students.
