Parental Involvement
“Connected Education is targeted at schools experiencing low levels of pupil attainment and poor parental participation. Our community engagement approach aims to bring improved educational and broader well-being outcomes for young people and families, through increasing educational aspiration and bridging the gap between schools and parents. It recognises that tackling low aspirations held by young people and their families is critical for schools in raising standards and personalising learning.”
