 The Family Partnership Model

The framework developed aligns the different aspects of schools work with parents and families under 5 key themes, with an overarching theme of monitoring and evaluation cutting across all areas.

 Five Key Themes:

A huge body of evidence tells us that children of parents who are actively engaged in their learning make greater progress than other children and that the gains made in achievement as a result of this engagement tend to be permanent.

Parental involvement has been shown to be more powerful than social class, family size and level of parental education in impacting achievement.  In a child’s primary school years, the influence of family has a more powerful effect on children’s attainment and progress than school factors.

 What is parental engagement?

The distinction between involvement and engagement is important:

  • Parental engagement could be defined as enabling parents to support their child’s learning at home
  • Parental involvement is when parent participate in school as PTA members, governors or volunteers.

Both roles are important for different reasons but research shows us that parental engagement had the biggest impact on a child’s achievement.

The diagram below shows the ‘ladder’ or parental participation from the Parental Engagement guidance produced by Oxford School Improvement.

Empowering:

Involving parents in key decisions such as appointments and budgets

Collaborating:

Involving parents as members of planning groups

Involving:

Having parents contribute to the everyday life of the school

Consulting:

Getting parent feedback

Informing:

Providing information

When developing a whole school approach to Family-School Partnership it is important that we, as a school, consider the full range of work with parents and carers.
