Leading Parent Partnership Award

As a school we are committed to developing and maintaining a positive working relationship with Parents/Carers. This is highlighted through Whole School Priority 5 which states:

Embed a culture of outward facing collaboration, positive communication and strong community links.

We know that effective and positive Parent/Carer partnerships have a lasting impact on student outcomes, behaviour, attendance, punctuality and wellbeing. By working together we will ensure that all students achieve their full potential and leave The Hamble School as lifelong learners.

We are currently working towards the Leading Parent Partnership Award. This is a nationally recognised award, which provides schools with a framework to improve their Parent Partnership.

There are five stages to the process:

1. School self-evaluation
2. Preparation of LPPA Action Plan
3. Implementation of actions and portfolio building
4. Interim assessment of progress
5. Verification leading to achievement of the award.

The key objectives are detailed below:

1. The school demonstrates a commitment to work towards achieving the LPPA
2. The school makes and implements effective plans to achieve and maintain the LPPA
3. The schooling is a welcoming, communicative and friendly place for parents
4. The school promotes awareness and participation of all groups of parents 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
5. The school provides a good induction for all new parents
6. The school provides parents with relevant and user-friendly guidance and information to help them support their children’s learning
7. The school produces and implements parent-friendly policies to establish effective home-school links and to improve children’s attendance, punctuality, progress and positive participation in school
8. The school provides good support for all parents as their children move through or leave the school.
