AfA 'Parents as Partners in Learning' Conference

On 3 June we were delighted to host this high-impact CPD conference at Brunel University, focused on what truly works in parental engagement.Led by Professor Janet Goodall, one of the UK's leading experts in the field, the event brought together research, pupil voice, and real-world school practice to both challenge assumptions and transform approaches to working with families.

The conference provided a valuable opportunity for schools to reflect on their current practice and consider new ways to improve collaboration, strengthen a sense of belonging, and enhance outcomes for all learners. Delegates left equipped with a range of practical, actionable ideas to take back to their settings and embed within their school communities.

Thank you to all who attended and contributed to such a positive and inspiring day.
