“The impact of the increased parental engagement on the <strong>Achievement</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>All</strong> children<br />

is striking. The children are now much more engaged with school, motivated, proud of<br />

their ef<strong>for</strong>ts and achievements and proud of their parent’s involvement in school life. The<br />

progress and achievement of our <strong>Achievement</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>All</strong> children, as a cohort, has been<br />

amongst the best in the school with the majority of <strong>Achievement</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>All</strong> pupils achieving<br />

between 3-4+ APS gain in the last term alone.<br />

Some of the parents who were the most difficult <strong>for</strong> us to engage and work with are now<br />

keen advocates <strong>for</strong> the school and are working as role models with our next cohort of<br />

<strong>Achievement</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>All</strong> parents and children.”<br />

Gransbury Primary School, Leicester<br />

Extract from a letter written by the grandmother of an <strong>Achievement</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>All</strong> student:<br />

Dear <strong>Achievement</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>All</strong> ,<br />

Prior to <strong>Achievement</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>All</strong> Eva was a shy, timid, little girl,<br />

bursting with ideas but never daring to push herself <strong>for</strong>ward.<br />

Today you see a child who is highly motivated, will take risks, and<br />

has a very healthy self-esteem.<br />

Educationally Eva is reaching her targets, in some areas surpassing<br />

them, socially popular with her friends, recreationally enrolling <strong>for</strong><br />

all out of school activities, all of which would have caused her huge<br />

anxieties in the past.<br />

There is no doubt Eva has benefited tremendously from this<br />

programme. It has been an excellent programme led by excellent<br />

staff.<br />

Yours Sincerely<br />
