Explore how you might reach ‘hard to reach’ parents more effectively and what you can learn from understanding pupils’ diversity.

Questions asked include:

• How might we reach ‘hard to reach’ parents more effectively?
• What learning at home beyond the school curriculum can we encourage?
• Can understanding pupils’ diversity change our perceptions of how school works?
• What additional opportunities does the ethnically diverse classroom offer for developing learning activities?

The evidence comes from the following Research for Teachers (RfT) summaries:

• Parental involvement in their children’s learning
• Home-school knowledge exchange.
