Why is parental engagement important?

Parental engagement not only supports parents but it also allows teachers, admin and SLT to include parents in the school's community. 'In the last few decades, there has been a growing recognition across the world of the importance of engaging parents' - University of Winchester (Centre for Real World Learning)

Studies have shown that improved engagement leads to:

• Improved attendance
• Improved behaviour
• Increased attainment
• Better communication and understanding around their child
