Your role as a parent

Whatever your child’s age, you know them best and are by far the biggest influence on their life. That’s why it’s your role to get involved in school life, to support (and challenge) their school to make sure your child gets the very best out of a Staffordshire education.

Ways you can get involved:

• Help with homework - get into the routine of helping your child with key bits of homework or reading. Don’t worry about doing everything perfectly, just get involved!
• Encourage your child's reading.
• Make the most of parents evenings.
• Join the Parent Teacher Association or other parent body.
• Become a governor.
• Network with other parents – face to face or set up/join a Facebook group.
• Visit the Parents' Hub.

We've partnered with Parentkind (formerly PTA UK) to give you access to their Parents' Hub, where you'll find practical information, alongside news articles, hot topics, blogs and the chance to have your say in surveys and polls.
