What is Parental Engagement?
Parental engagement is about ways in which parents/ carers, families and professionals
work together to support children’s learning. Parental engagement offers greater opportunities for parents/ carers to be active in their children’s learning. Research proves that parental engagement leads to greater success for our young people. Together we can make a difference.

Parental involvement most often focuses on parents getting involved in the life and work of the school.  It is about ensuring that parents have opportunities to contribute to establishment improvement and  decision making that affects the establishment, and making use of parents’ skills to enrich the curriculum.
