Why Parental Involvement is Key to a Student’s Success

At Litter Heart Grammar School, we believe that the success of our students is a shared responsibility between the school, the students, and, most importantly, their parents. Parental involvement is a key factor in a child's academic achievement and overall development. In this blog post, we’ll explore the vital role that parents play in their child’s education and how their active participation can contribute to a student’s success at Litter Heart Grammar School.

1. Boosting Academic Performance : Parental involvement is strongly linked to improved academic performance. When parents actively engage in their child’s education, they help reinforce the lessons learned at school, encourage study habits, and ensure that students stay motivated to excel.

2. Encouraging Positive Attitudes Toward Learning : Children are more likely to develop a positive attitude toward learning when their parents demonstrate an interest in their education. Parents who are actively involved in their child’s learning experience provide encouragement, motivation, and reinforcement

3. Strengthening Emotional and Social Development : Parental involvement also plays a signicant role in a child’s emotional and social development. When parents attend school events, parent-teacher conferences, and extracurricular activities, they help children feel supported and valued.

4. Setting High Expectations : When parents set high academic expectations and encourage their children to reach their full potential, it positively impacts a child’s performance. Children are more likely to strive for excellence when they know their parents believe in their abilities
