Next Practice in Communities for Learning - Ealing

Schools without walls

New Branching-out Co-ordinators at Willow Tree Primary will develop a parental induction programme as part of pupil registration. The trial builds on developing links with the community especially through the parents of pupils in Years 1-3, and will identify influential parents and audit skills within the community that could be brought into the classroom and wider school community.

This project is a partnership between Ealing Local Authority and Willow Tree Primary School. It involves teachers at the school working in partnership with parents in the learning process. The aim of the field trial is to establish a real partnership between teachers and parents in order to celebrate and use their skills for the benefit of the pupils. It is hoped that aspirations amongst parents and the wider community will also be raised through their involvement.
