Further Information
What is the LPPA?
The Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA) is a nationally recognised accreditation for schools that demonstrates they work effectively with parents and carers to support children’s education and wellbeing. Schools are assessed against a set of evidence-based standards and must show they have strong, meaningful partnerships with families.
What is the purpose of LPPA?
The award helps schools:
- Improve communication between home and school.
- Encourage greater parental involvement in children’s learning.
- Create a welcoming and inclusive environment for families.
- Support parents during key transition periods (such as starting school or moving to secondary school).
- Improve outcomes such as attendance, punctuality, behaviour, and academic progress.
What does a school have to do to achieve it?
Schools must provide evidence that they meet a series of objectives, including:
- Committing to parental engagement.
- Developing and implementing plans to maintain that engagement.
- Being welcoming and communicative.
- Encouraging participation from all groups of parents.
- Providing effective induction for new families.
- Giving parents clear guidance to support learning at home.
- Developing parent-friendly policies and strong home-school links.
- Supporting families through transitions.
- Reviewing achievements and planning future improvements.
Why is it valued?
Schools that achieve LPPA often report:
- Better relationships with families.
- Increased parent participation in school activities.
- Improved support for pupils’ learning at home.
- Stronger attendance and behaviour outcomes.
- Evidence of good parental engagement for school inspections and quality assurance.
