The Cavendish High Academy has committed to The Parent Partnership Award 

The LPPA will help us achieve these long-term benefits:

• Contribute to improved pupil attendance, punctuality, behaviour and progress
• Increase parent participation and involvement
• Enhance parents’ support in their children’s learning
• Improve communication between home and school.

The Award has 9 objectives

• Demonstrate a commitment to work towards achieving the LPPA
• Make and implement effective plans to achieve and maintain the LPPA
• Show the school is a welcoming, communicative and friendly place for parents
• Promote the awareness and participation of all groups of parents/carers 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
• Provide a good induction for all new parents/carers
• Provide parents/carers with relevant and user-friendly guidance and information to help them to support their children’s learning
• Produce and implement parent-friendly policies to establish effective home–school links and to improve children’s attendance, punctuality, progress and positive participation in school
• Provide good support for all parents as their children move through or leave the school
• Summarise our achievements against the LPPA objectives and outlines our future plans.
