Review of best practice in parental engagement - Department for Education

Used by over 600 schools and colleges

"The layout is great - very much in the style of the prospectus material student and parents will be familiar with.  The little touches, such as the glossary boxes and simple flow charts make it very easy-to-navigate. This is a guide that delivers a great deal of information without being overwhelming."

Positive feedback from parents and guardians

"A lot has changed since I went to university, so I found it extremely helpful to have access to all the updates I needed to know in one place. The guide was clear, easy to read and I found the hyperlinks to reliable websites extremely useful. I would recommend this to any parent who wants to provide the right help to their children."
"Parental engagement is a powerful lever for raising achievement in schools"
