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)

Working in Partnership with our Families, Parents and Carers

At Oakley School, we believe that children achieve their best when schools and families work closely together. Strong partnerships with parents and carers are central to our values and to the way we support our pupils. In January 2018, Oakley School achieved the Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA), a nationally recognised award that celebrates effective and meaningful engagement with parents and carers. Following a successful reassessment in September 2022, the award was renewed for a further three years.

We are now undertaking our current LPPA reassessment, which allows us to review our practice, celebrate our strengths and identify opportunities to further develop how we work alongside families. An essential part of the LPPA process is ensuring that parent voice is heard and valued. We are therefore keen to involve parents and carers in supporting the reassessment and helping to shape our ongoing approach to partnership working. If you would like to be involved, please contact the LPPA Award Co‑ordinator, Zoey Hatch, at zhatch@oakley.kent.sch.uk for further information.

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
