EPPa is in use in primary and secondary schools, and Children's Centres, across the UK. The EPPa strategy is supported by a detailed, accessible and easy-to-use toolkit which contains a wealth of admin back-up materials, advice, policies etc. It contains all you will need to form a strategic partnership, with advice from the setting up of the group, the model constitution and recruiting parent leaders to undertaking projects that can really make a difference to your school.
