The LPPA aims to improve Parent Partnership across six areas:

• Transition – Supports parents as their children transition through and between schools

• Participation – Include all groups of parents in supporting their children's learning and developing their own learning

• Communication – Take steps to ensure that the school is a welcoming, communicative and friendly place for parent

• Guidance – Provide clear and accessible guidance to help parents support their children’s learning and development

• Induction – Provide clear guidance on the responsibilities of parents, school and pupils and share this information with parents as a key part of the induction process

• Home School Links – Produce parent-friendly policies to establish effective home-school links

What difference will the award make to the work done with families at The Stoke Poges School?

It will make our work with families even better. It will improve our communication and build more activities for families in school. As you know we are always trying to improve and completing this award will help us do that!

How can families help us gain the award?

• Read all information that we send out

• Come along to events we organise

• Complete any questionnaires we send out as honestly as you can

• We are forming an LPPA Working Party. A group which will consist of parents, members of school staff meeting regularly to work on an action plan and gather the evidence needed to gain the award.
