Leading Parent Partnership Award

Develop positive relationships with parents

Supporting schools to deliver outstanding engagement with all groups of parents.

What’s in the Leading Parent Partnership Award framework?

This award helps your school to work in partnership with all parents and carers. Increasing parental participation in school life leads to improved pupil progress, punctuality, attendance and behaviour. The framework encourages parents to be involved in their children's learning leading to improved outcomes in all aspects of school life.

The Award benefits

  • Effective participation

    Provide a programme of opportunities and events for joint parent and child participation.
    We have welcomed the challenge and consequently, we have refined many of our practices and this has had a very positive impact on our parents, pupils, staff and the wider community.

  • Welcoming inductions

    Hold induction meetings and events for all new parents and provide clear guidance for the responsibilities of parents, school and pupils.
    The Leading Parent Partnership Award has been a self-evaluative process which has strengthened our approaches and identified where we need to focus our energy.

  • Welcome parents to school

    Provide an environment that is communicative and friendly with a well-organised reception, displays, signage and information.
    This has been an excellent process as it has enabled middle leaders to reflect and evaluate all that happens here.

  • Support transition
