Working Together: Parent & Carers as Partners led by Hannah Hall

This session is brought to you by Gateway Alliance, working in partnership with the East Midlands Academy Trust.

Overview:

Calling all Senior Leaders!

Are you finding home-school relationships becoming more and more challenging?

Are you struggling to get parents to engage and support your culture?

Are you wanting to improve your skills in having difficult conversations with parents?

With the latest evidence suggesting that there is a decrease in teachers’ confidence in dealing with parents and an increase in reports of abuse of school staff by parents (Teacher Tapp – Feb 2024) join us for this invaluable opportunity to focus on building effective partnerships between schools and parents/carers, which will enhance the educational experience and outcomes for children. During this session we will:

  • Explore how to create a ‘Relationship Policy’ which will establish the foundational values, roles, expectations, communication strategies and behaviours necessary to build trusting and productive partnerships with parents and carers.
  • Look at the practicalities of implementation planning, leveraging the latest guidance from the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF). With a focus on parental partnership, participants will learn to integrate this guidance into staff induction processes, CPD and the creation of a parent partnership handbook.
  • Look at the importance of weaving parental engagement into the curriculum and broader educational outcomes.
  • Provide you with the confidence and tools you need to be better prepared to handle tricky conversations, how these might be best structured and look at some scripts to handle sensitive topics and discuss difficult situations.

DATE: Tuesday 8th October 2024

TIME: 08:30-12:00 – followed by LUNCH and networking

VENUE: East Midlands Academy Trust, Pyramus House, Roman Way, Grange Park, Northampton, NN4 5EA
