Leading Learning builds capacity for parental involvement known to make a difference to pupil achievement. We can support you throughout this process. From working with staff in school: building a shared understanding of the need for parental involvement through to designing, facilitating or leading learning opportunities with parents.

"Very clear purpose. Research data used to explain why parental involvement is so important and how it can be achieved.
I will use parents more in the completion of homework tasks, starting with a parent based KS4 project designed to engage parents in the completion of questionnaires and interviews.
A very professional, adept speaker - able to draw on wide and relevant experience to inform her presentation.
Excellent and inspirational workshop activity. Loved it!
