What is the Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA)?
The Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA) is a nationally recognised award achievable by schools who work closely with families of its pupils. It makes our work with families better, improves communication and builds more activities for families in school. The Leading Parent Partnership Award has been promoting excellence in parent partnership in schools and other educational settings since 2003. The Leading Parent Partnership Award is valid for 3 years from the date of successful Final Verification.
Why are we doing this?
Research shows that when parents/carers are involved, students are more likely to achieve their potential and be more successful. Parents, carers and family members are by far the most important influence and your support and engagement with your child’s education is really valued here at Christ the King.
At Christ the King, we really value our relationship with all parents and carers and as part of our school community, we are excited to offer you opportunity to engage with us on our journey in achieving the LPPA Award.
We need you! If you are interested and would like to join our ‘Working Party’, please email head@christtheking.notts.sch.uk
