Parental involvement is important for student success. Two schools conducted audits of parental engagement using the free Parental Engagement Quality Standard toolkit to evaluate practices. Effective use of student data can foster partnerships by providing the right information to parents through portals and social media to support learning at home. Schools are shifting focus to changing learning in the home and engaging parents as co-learners through tools like FROG and treating parents as a valuable, unpaid workforce.

Editor's Notes
A school’s work with parents makes a difference to how it responds to pupils’needs and supports their learning and progress. Most schools recognise theneed to engage parents. Schools that are outstanding in this respect exploitmany different forms of communication, invite constructive feedback and raiseaspirations by giving parents useful and frequent information about how theirchild is progressing. Importantly, they also show parents how they can supportlearning in the home. We propose to consider the quality of a school’s workwith parents in the judgement on leadership and management.Inspection 2012 – March 2011
