Parental Engagement

Parental engagement in schools refers to the active involvement of parents in their children’s education and school community. This partnership between parents and schools is crucial for enhancing pupil achievement and well-being. Here are some key aspects of parental engagement:

1. Communication: Regular and open communication between parents and teachers about pupil progress, school events and any concerns.
2. Participation in School Activities: Parents attending school events, such as parent-teacher meetings, assemblies, collective worship, coffee mornings, school plays, school performances and athletics sporting advents. 
3. Support at Home: Parents helping with homework, encouraging reading, and fostering a positive attitude towards learning at home.
4. Collaboration with Teachers: Working together with teachers to support their child’s learning and address any academic or behavioral issues.
5. Resource Provision: Providing resources or expertise that can benefit the school community, such as workshops, transition to high school, sleep workshops, maths workshops,  or sharing professional skills.

Effective parental engagement creates a supportive network that benefits students, helping them to achieve their full potential both academically and personally.
