Parental Engagement

Your students' parents are a key resource for the school as well as being 'customers'.

​

What they think of the school really matters;  their feedback can help you to identify and prioritise improvements. 

Moreover, parents who are passionate about the school can be your greatest advocates.

  

Parents who are engaged can:

  • better support their children, encouraging and enhancing their learning;

  • reinforce the school's vision and values;

  • spread the word and be your best, free marketing resource - essential for under-subscribed schools;

  • volunteer - in the classroom and beyond;

  • support your fundraising efforts.

  

Whilst Parent View is an essential tool for Ofsted, it is very limited in its questions.  I can help you to go beyond that identifying the skills and knowledge that parents have and may be willing to share.

  

I can also help to facilitate workshops with parents to capture their ideas and harness their passion into a tangible resource for the school.

  

My experience includes chairing a local school's Parents' Think Tank;  whilst providing valuable feedback to the school the Think Tank also led to the development of "By Parents, For Parents" - an invaluable guide for new parents outlining the exciting journey ahead for their children year by year.

  

Contact me and I will gladly arrange a time to meet to see what we can develop together.
