Ever feel like you only hear from your child’s school when something has gone wrong?

Behind the school gate, teachers are stretched, parents are anxious and communication can easily break down. But it doesn't have to be that way.

For Episode 1 of The School-Parent Partnership Podcast, we’re chatting with the brilliant Santanu Sengupta from the Neurodiverse Parenting Hub about how schools and families can build deep, unspoken trust before communication hurdles get in the way.

Two weeks on from the Festival of Education, and we’re still thinking about the inspiring conversations we had.

Here’s a look back at some highlights, including Naomi Bartholomew-Millar, Head of Faculty at Polam Hall School, and Becki Weaver, Deputy Headteacher at Hurst Hill Primary School, sharing how they’re bringing the Four Pillars framework into practice, alongside Justin and me discussing the power of strong school–parent partnerships.

Thank you to everyone who stopped to talk with us. Let’s keep the conversation going.

A great start to our first Four Pillars Masterclass session this week đź‘Ź

Thank you to everyone who joined us - it was brilliant to see so many school leaders taking the time to step back and reflect on their approach to parental engagement.

We’re looking forward to session two on 22nd May, where we’ll bring everything together and focus on next steps.

If you missed this round, we’ll be sharing more soon.
