Leading Parent Partnership 

At Buckingham Park Primary School, we recognise the vital role that parents play in their children's education. As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing effective and positive parent partnerships, we are currently working towards the Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA). The LPPA is a school improvement programme designed to foster strong relationships between the school and families. We believe that fostering strong relationships between parents and educators enhances children's learning experience and contributes to their overall success.  As a community, we always hope to build on the many strengths our school already has with parents.  We want to provide opportunities for parents to have a voice in everyday school life.  At Buckingham Park Primary School, we want to do everything we possibly can to help parents and families support their children. 

Working with families and other partners

Through the Leading Parent Partnership initiative, we aim to provide parents with the tools and resources they need to engage effectively with their children’s learning. The LPPA provides us with a coherent framework to deliver effective parental engagement when children begin school in the early years at our Buckingham Park Primary School.

Asking families what they think

In October 2024, we circulated a survey to find out the views of parents regarding the school in terms of  experiences, thoughts and suggestions. Many of the responses centred around communication,  increased opportunities to be involved in children's learning, including more events, and chances to visit the school to understand how they can support their children.   

We have already formed a working party of staff and parents who are developing an action plan to guide our progress towards the award. We are working hard to listen and respond to suggestions, and we hope that you will begin to see positive changes in the coming weeks and months. 

We invite all parents to actively participate in our community. Your involvement is essential in creating a positive learning environment. Together, we can help our children thrive and achieve their full potential at Buckingham Park Primary School.
