Challenge Partners Quality Assurance Reviews

Challenge Partners is a practitioner-led national network of schools that improves school performance through peer-to-peer challenge and knowledge sharing. The Quality Assurance Review is a peer review involving senior leaders from other schools in the partnership. All outcomes are agreed between the school and the review team as part of an ongoing professional dialogue that seeks to unpick and articulate effective teaching practice and school improvement strategies.

Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA)

At Oakley School, we believe that children and young people achieve their best when school and families work closely together. Building strong, respectful and supportive relationships with parents and carers is central to our values and to the way we support every pupil and their family.

We are delighted that in October 2026, Oakley School was successfully re-verified for the Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA) for a further three years. The LPPA is a nationally recognised award celebrating schools that demonstrate a strong and sustained commitment to working in partnership with parents and carers. 

Our reassessment recognised the strength of the partnership culture across Oakley and highlighted how we listen to families, respond to their views and continually develop the support and communication we provide. The assessor particularly recognised our personalised approach to working with individual families, the role of our Family Support Worker, opportunities for parent learning and training, and the significant impact of ClassDojo in strengthening communication between home and school.

LPPA provides Oakley School with a clear framework for continuous improvement and recognises our commitment to working collaboratively with families. The benefits of the award include:

• Greater opportunities for parents and carers to engage with school life
• Stronger support for children’s learning at home and at school
• Clear, open and effective communication between home and school
