Strong parent engagement doesn't happen by accident. This practical pack gives school leaders and pastoral leads the tools to audit, plan and improve how your school builds relationships with families, from welcoming new parents in September to supporting harder-to-reach families year-round.

You'll get:

☑️ A comprehensive audit tool covering leadership and culture, communication, parent voice, learning at home, attendance and behaviour, SEND and inclusion, staff development and impact and evaluation as well as a structured action plan for recording priorities and next steps from the audit

☑️ A whole-school parent engagement checklist covering the full academic year from pre-September planning through to end-of-year evaluation

☑️ A new parent induction checklist to support consistent, structured family onboarding from the day a place is confirmed

All templates and checklists are fully editable so you can adapt them for your school's specific context.

Ideal for headteachers, deputy headteachers, assistant headteachers with responsibility for family liaison or pastoral care, DSLs, SENDCos and link governors for parent engagement.

Is your setting looking to recruit a new headteacher, principal, head of school or executive head? If you’re a chair of governors, a trustee or MAT leader looking for the right interview questions to ask a prospective headteacher, as well as interview tasks that will test their strengths and skills, this Headteacher Interview Pack is here to support you through the process.
