Parental Engagement: Lessons from Parents

Schools receive anecdotal feedback about the effectiveness of their parental communication all the time. But in order to get a holistic handle on how parents feel about their school’s efforts to engage with them, we asked school parents using our IRIS ParentMail application across the UK how they felt about the effectiveness of their school’s communication.

We received a whopping 71,129 responses from primary and secondary school parents, allowing us to draw a very representative picture of current attitudes towards parental engagement.

So what did they say? We reveal our findings in this guide.
