Leading Parent Partnership Award LPPA

Leading Parent Partnership Award – LPPA

We are working towards achieving the nationally recognised Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA) to help strengthen our school’s partnership with parents. LPPA is a national award that will provide us with a valuable school improvement tool and give us recognition for our commitment to working with parents.

What are the Benefits of Achieving this Award?

The LPPA will help us achieve these long-term benefits:

• contribute to improved pupil attendance, punctuality, behaviour and progress
• increase parent participation and involvement
• enhance parents’ support in their children’s learning
• improve communication between home and school.

How Does the School Obtain the Award?

The school must demonstrate a commitment to working towards the LPPA with effective plans in place to achieve a specific set of objectives. These objectives focus primarily on ensuring the school:   

• is a welcoming, communicative and friendly place for parents.
• promotes the awareness and participation of all groups of parents in supporting their children’s learning and developing their own learning
• provides good induction for all new parents.
• provides parents with relevant and user-friendly guidance and information to help them support their child’s learning
• produces and implements parent friendly policies to establish effective home school-links and improve pupil attendance, punctuality and positive participation in school.
• provides good support for all parents as their children move through or leave the school

How Can Parents Get Involved

Your views are important in helping us understand what we are doing well and how we can do even better. Therefore, as a first step we need your input to help evaluate our current provision. Parent will have been sent a link to the questionnaire - if you have not received the link, please contact E.Tucker: etucker@bggs.com

It should only take a couple of minutes. All responses and suggestions will be carefully considered and used in our planning.
