LPPA Award
LPPA Award
The LPPA Award - Leading Parent Partnership Award is being currently undertaken by the school. Mr Patel will be leading on this aspect and as such will require contributions and support from the parents at the school.
The Award itself recognises the contributions made by parents in the social and educational development of your child. We are using the 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 also give us recognition for our commitment to working with parents.
Involving yourself in your child’s education is an exciting challenge, with excellent benefits for your child, for you, for the school and for the local community.
Research has identified that, at age 7, a parent’s influence on a child’s learning is six times that of their school and even at 11 years old, it is 29% greater. Increased involvement can raise achievement by at least 18%. No involvement means low or no qualifications at 16.
If you feel that you would like to contribute and support in gaining this Award, then please contact Mr Patel.
Update on LPPA Award
The school had the next interim visit (4th July) regarding completing the LPPA Award. This was completed and we are now looking forward to Meeting Mrs Hall (LPPA assessor) on the 15th of July for the final Verification visit.
Parent Evaluation April 2023

Can I thank you for your time and the reponses that you gave. In order to improve in all areas we feel it is important that we get a true evaluation of the school and how stakeholders (parents/carers and children) feel about our systems and how they impact you directly.
In the report, although it was very positive, a strong message was shared where you indicated that communication could be further improved.
Improving Communication
Issue - Finding out information late
Action - we have already started to amend how we communicate with parents, the newly launched Newsletter has key information and is completed fortnightly. This ensures that current information is presented to you and enables parents to make arrangements for seeing their child/children perform in school.
NEW (April 11th 2024) - Display boards around school have been updated to show current events. We have colour-coded dates so that it is easier to see when their child may be completing an activity or when parents have been asked to attend school to watch their child.
Text messages are sent out in advance of events taking place. This has improved communication but there is still more to do.
