Parental Partnership
The Olive Tree Primary School is committed to ensure that we support and work closely with our parents to ensure our families receive the very best care, welfare and education. As part of this commitment we are involved in the Leading Parent Partnership Award.
How Does the Leading Parent Partnership Award Work?
Working effectively with parents and carers to help them to support their children’s learning and development is crucial, right through from Nursery to Year 6 and beyond
LPPA Programme helps schools to enhance their existing work with parents and carers
Encouraging the use of a wide range of communicating strategies, from the traditional newsletter to the school’s virtual learning environment. Getting to know parents needs
Giving guidance for simple but creative ways of providing curriculum information and practical advice that will enable parents and carers to support their children’s learning
Developing joint parent and child enrichment activities, so that parents, carers and their children can enjoy learning together
Developing effective management strategies to build a sustainable approach to parent partnership across the school
Providing evidence that meets Ofsted’s requirement for parental engagement
Benefits of the LPPA.
A developmental process for schools, the LPPA contributes to:
Improved pupil attendance, punctuality, behaviour and progress
Increased parental participation and involvement
Enhanced parental support for children’s learning
Improved home school communications
Qualitative and quantitative evidence of improvement and success
Working towards the LPPA will support the work in Community Cohesion, Extended Schools and needs of all children. The LPPA also provides evidence required by Ofsted on the quality of the school’s engagement with parents.
