Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA)
Leading Parent Partnership Award is a national award that provides a coherent framework through which schools, early years settings and other educational organisations can deliver effective parental engagement from early years to post-16.
Stockport School is proud of its working relationships with parents and carers. Our vision is for parents, carers and families to continue to develop and enhance their involvement in the life of learning that their child experiences at our school. We want families to feel comfortable and happy to spend time in school working in partnership with our staff and to spend time at home with their child talking about learning.
In March 2016, as a result of our strong track record of working to support parents and carers, together with a wide variety of new initiatives, we were successful in achieving the Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA), for the first time. This award looks at how well we work with parents and carers, how welcoming the school is, and how we support parents in helping their child to learn. It was a very thorough but rewarding process and through it we began to realise our vision of parents, carers and families becoming even more involved in the life of learning that their child experiences at our school.

Young Carers in Schools is an exciting England-wide initiative that equips schools to support young carers and awards good practice. Run jointly by Carers Trust and The Children’s Society Young Carers in Focus partners, we are improving the identification and support of young carers in schools across the country, so that they get the help they need. This initiative is funded by The Queen’s Trust and The Big Lottery Fund. By taking part in the Young Carers in Schools programme, schools will be able to show that they are meeting the needs of a particularly vulnerable group of pupils (specifically mentioned in Ofsted’s School Inspection Handbook). |

It supports schools to develop and celebrate arts and cultural education, putting creativity and wellbeing at the heart of the curriculum.

The Basic skills Quality Mark is an award that celebrates and supports continuous improvement in literacy and numeracy. It is awarded to a setting or school to recognise their provision, practice and performance in literacy and numeracy, and is valid for three years. A school or setting must demonstrate a whole school approach to improving standards in literacy and numeracy, with evidence of the impact of its approaches. It provides a framework for self-evaluation and continuous improvement of the basic skills of all pupils in a school, including those who underachieve and those who underattain. Stockport School is proud to have achieved this award on 5 continuous occasions, most recently in September 2021.

Educational inclusion is about equal opportunities for all pupils, whatever their age, gender, ethnicity, attainment and background. It pays particular attention to the provision made for, and the achievement of, different groups of pupils within a school. An educationally inclusive school is one in which the teaching and learning, achievements, attitudes and well-being of every young person matters. Effective schools are educationally inclusive schools. This shows, not only in their performance, but also in their ethos and their willingness to offer new opportunities to pupils who may have experienced previous difficulties. This does not mean treating all pupils in the same way. Rather it involves taking account of pupils’ varied life experiences and needs. |

SSAT Leading Edge
Following hot on the heels of the letter which we received from the Rt. Hon. Nick Gibb MP, I am very pleased to attach another high profile congratulatory letter recognising the significant success, progress and high performance of the school, this time from Sue Williamson, Chief Executive of the School, Students and Teachers Network (SSAT).
In Sue’s letter she congratulates the school upon our success and great work last year and informs us that as a result of our success, the school is “now eligible for membership of SSAT’s Leading Edge, the national network exclusively available to high-performing schools.”
This is again great news and a terrific recognition for us as a school to be recognised at a national level as a ‘high-performing school’.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
