Leading Parent Partnership Award - 2019-2022

A parent’s involvement in their child’s learning really does make a difference and we are committed to giving our parents the tools and support that they need to help their child to achieve to their full potential. Bedford Drive Primary School is proud of its working relationships with parents and carers, however as a school we are always keen to develop many more aspects of our home-school partnership. So, at the start of 2019, we started working towards the Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA). The LPPA is a recognised award that provides a challenging framework within which schools can strengthen their partnerships with parents and carers.

In July 2019, Bedford Drive Primary school were delighted to receive this award, which demonstrates our commitment to the following objectives:
