Partnership Working and Supporting the Needs of Families

Leaders know their pupils and families well and use this understanding to provide effective support. They promote strong family engagement through purposeful activities that help build positive and trusting working relationships. Senior leaders deliver beneficial workshops that focus on developing parents’ and carers’ literacy and numeracy skills. These help to build their confidence to support their child’s learning at home. Leaders work particularly well with other professionals to provide bespoke support to parents of pupils with ALN, both during and beyond the school day. The school arranges skills-based training and work experience for parents and helps them to gain qualifications to increase their employment opportunities. The family engagement officer creates important links with organisations and businesses to access welfare and emotional support for families. Partnership working is a strength of the school.
