Ash Hill Academy Achieves The LPPA!

We are pleased to announce that Ash Hill Academy has achieved The Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA)! The LPPA is a nationally recognised award achievable by schools who work very closely with the families of their pupils.

Steps we took to achieve the award:

Ash Hill Academy completed 9 different objectives to achieve the award. These objectives were:

  1. The school demonstrates a commitment to work towards the Leading Parent Partnership Award.
  2. The school makes and implements effective plans to achieve and maintain the Leading Parent Partnership Award.
  3. The school is a welcoming, communicative and friendly place for parents.
  4. The school promotes the awareness and participation of all groups of parents in supporting their children’s learning and developing their own learning. In addition, the school holds and actively promotes a programme of opportunities and events for joint parent and child participation.
  5. The school provides a good induction for all new parents.
  6. The school provides parents with relevant and user-friendly guidance and information to help them to support their children’s learning.
  7. The school produces and implements parent friendly policies to establish effective home-school links and to improve children’s attendance, punctuality, progress, and positive participation in school.
  8. The school provides good support for all parents as their children move through or leave the school.
  9. The school summarises its achievements against the LPPA Objectives and outlines its future plans.

The LPPA offers a robust framework that supports schools in strengthening partnerships with parents and carers. It is a developmental process which, through active parental involvement, aims to improve children’s life chances at every stage. The Award also serves as an important tool for school self-evaluation, aligning with the expectations of Ofsted, and other national standards, while providing ongoing evidence for the school’s Self Evaluation Form (SEF).

We will continue to monitor and maintain these high standards of partnership, while also focusing on identified areas for further development.

Thank you for your continued support!
