Involving parents in the life of the school has a positive impact on the achievement of pupils. Bruce Grove Primary School in north London takes every opportunity to welcome parents into the school as partners in their children's education. The school has a genuine open-door policy, relaxed parents' evenings and informal meetings with teachers. There's an admissions procedure that includes personal family interviews, home visits and a small but active parent council. The school has also organised that every morning there's some activity or classes at the school for the benefit of parents.
