Wakefield Snapethorpe Primary School

Leading Parent Partnership Award

We are proud to share with you the news that during November 2021, Snapethope Primary School was awarded the Leading Parent Partnership Award.

LPPA is a nationally recognised award, that school's who work very closely with their families of pupils can achieve.

The school was assessed by an external advisor.

In order to meet the award we had to provide evidence that we had achieved the following;

commitment to working towards the LPPA award
hold events in school for arents to work jointly with their children (FEET, Inspire, Techno Families etc)
regularly evaluate our performance against the LPPA award
provide parents with user friendly guidance an information to help them support their learning
make and implement plans to acheive and maintain the LPPA award
be a welcoming and friendly place for parents
produce parents friendly policies to establish effective home-school linkes and improve pupil attendance, punctuality, behaviour and progress in school
provide a good induction for all parents
promote participation in lifelong learning opportunities available in school and in the community to all parents
provide good support for transition for parents when children change key stages or leave the school

Over the next three years we will be analysing our partnership with parents and developing further ways to engage parents within school activities. If you have any questions or requests that you would like the school to think about implementing please feel free to share your ideas with staff.

LPPA Autumn Term 2024

As part of our work towards the Learning Parent Partnership Award, we have continued to develop our school links with the wider community and parents, across the Autumn term. We have further continued to communicate with parents through the use of various social media mediums, which have allowed staff and parents to freely communicate with each other in a manner that represents today’s society.

Events planned for Autumn term were;

Open Book Nights
Christmas Carol Concerts
Reverse Advent to support St George’s Foodbank
Christmas performances
Choir Christingle Service at St George’s Church

Alongside these events we put into our Autumn Diary the following charity events, for which we have been raising money,

Children In Need
Save the Children-Christmas Jumper Day
Wakefield Hospice- Reindeer Dash

To further engage with parents, I have ensured that the school website is managed effectively, with a wide range of information, pictures and events being uploaded to alert parents to what has been happening within our local area and school throughout the term. The use of Arbor has also continued, allowing the school to promote local organisations and agencies such as Wakefield Council, St George’s Church, St Georges Community Centre, Turning Point and Mental Health Support, amongst others, many of which can provide help and support to parents, whom may be in need.
