Leading Parent Partnership Award
The Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA) is a nationally recognised award achievable by schools who work closely with families of its pupils.
The purpose of the award is to help Trinity CofE High School improve its communications and build positive relationships with families. The assessment is made by Award Place.
During this process we hope to build on the many strong links the school already has with parents. We want to provide opportunities for parents to have a voice in everyday school life and help parents and families support their children.
What does the school have to do to achieve the award?
The award has 9 areas of development. The school needs to work toward meeting all of them, to achieve the award
- Demonstrate a commitment to work towards achieving the LPPA
- Make and implement effective plans to achieve and maintain the LPPA
- Show the school is a welcoming, communicative and friendly place for parents
- Promote the awareness and participation of all groups of parents/carers in supporting their children’s learning and developing their own learning. In addition, the school holds and actively promotes a programme of opportunities and events for joint parent and child participation
- Provide a good induction for all new parents/carers
- Provide parents/carers with relevant and user-friendly guidance and information to help them to support their children’s learning
- Produce and implement parent-friendly policies to establish effective home–school links and to improve children’s attendance, punctuality, progress and positive participation in school
- Provide good support for all parents as their children move through or leave the school
- Summarise our achievements against the LPPA objectives and outlines our future plans
As part of the award, the school collects evidence to demonstrate the work we are doing in each area. We have a working party that meets each half term to discuss improvements that can be made to all areas of the school.
Research shows that increasing parental participation in school life leads to improved pupil progress, punctuality, attendance and behaviour.
