Parental Engagement toolkit

Educational Endowment Foundation – UK Government funded programme providing research and funding on variety of projects and methodologies for improving pupil attainment.
The association between parental engagement and a child’s academic success is well established and there is a long history of research into parental engagement programmes. However, there is surprisingly little robust evidence about the impact of approaches designed to improve learning through increased parental engagement.
The evidence is predominantly from primary level and the early years, though there are studies which have looked at secondary schools.
Impact studies tend to focus on reading and mathematics attainment.
