I am a trainee head teacher and would like to know what makes a school good or bad at communicating with parents and getting parents involved in the wider school community

HI I'm an experienced Primary teacher and am undertaking the NPQH - head teacher qualification. As part of my learning I'm looking at what, for parents, makes schools good or bad and communicating and building a relationship with parents. I want to make my school, when I become a head have the best relationship with parents as possible to enable to maximise their child's learning. If you have any experiences or thoughts you'd like to share I'd really appreciate it - I've also put together a 5 minute survey which I'd be really grateful if you have time to complete. Many Thanks
Jo

Survey done. I've added a link (within the survey) to 'my' school's website so you can see how we use that to communicate with parents.

MumsNet folk - you have surpassed my expectations and have been absolutely brilliant. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. If your children or grandchildren come to my school - I promise they'll have the best education the state provides :o
