Free Briefing sessions about the Leading Parent Partnership Award

Townsend Consultancy Ltd will shortly be contacting schools in the Southeast of England to invite them to attend free briefing sessions on the value of the Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA).  The purpose of these briefing will be to give schools information about this award and the value it can have for schools.  The LPPA is the only nationally recognised award for schools that specifically focuses on parental engagement.  This can be a useful development tool for a newly qualified teacher or a new deputy head teacher.

The LPPA has particular relevance for the new 2012 Ofsted Inspection Framework.  More specifically in Paragraph 32 of the draft Ofsted Framework ‘A school’s work with parents makes a difference to how it responds to pupils’ needs and supports their learning and progress.  Most schools recognise the need to engage parents.  Schools that are outstanding in this respect exploit many different forms of communication, invite constructive feedback and raise aspirations by giving parents useful and frequent feedback about how their child is progressing.  Importantly, they also show parents how they can support learning at home.  We propose to consider the quality of a school’s work with parents in the judgement on leadership and management.’
