Year 10 Power to Perform September 2018

1. Aim of this evening:
• To give you an overview of
how you can become
engaged with the college to
support your child’s learning.

2. ‘The more parents are engaged
in the education of their children,
the more likely their children are
to succeed in the education
system. School improvement and
school effectiveness research
consistently shows that parental
engagement is one of the key
factors in securing higher student
achievement’. (DFE Research
report 2010)

3. Parental
involvement
v
Parental
engagement
Involvement is where parents
support their child by
attending functions and
meetings but do not get
involved in the process of
learning
Engagement is when parents
are in a partnership with the
school and are engaged in the
process of improving their
child’s learning

4. What
does this
look like?
• Learning at home: help with
homework, subject skills, other
skills and talents, attitudes, values,
aspirations and behaviour
• Communication: school-home;
home-school
• In-school activities: volunteering;
parents’ evenings, field trips;
participating as a member of an
audience
• Decision making: undertaking role
as school governor or other
committees
