More about Parentkind

Parentkind is a national federated charity that aims to advance education by encouraging the fullest cooperation between home and school, education authorities, central government and all other interested parties and bodies.  We are proud to be the leading membership organisation for parent teacher associations in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.  Parentkind seeks to represent all these parent groups as they strive to help every child in their school and we support our 12,500 members to raise £122m annually.

As well as helping parent groups on the ground, we provide resources to support parent participation in education at school and home so that every child can thrive and reach their potential.  Ultimately, we want more parents to be empowered to be involved and engaged in their child’s education.  The evidence is clear that parental participation in education benefits children in schools and society and increases the opportunities for social mobility for our younger generations.

We are working towards a future where this is considered an essential ingredient in the success of our children’s education by society, schools and parents themselves by:

• Engaging and inspiring individual parents
• Supporting our PTA and other member associations and growing the number if PTAs across the UK
• Helping schools be parent-friendly through guidance and training
• Working with partners
• Championing the role of those with parental responsibility in their child’s education through our research and by influencing education sector interests and policymakers. 

The charity's impact is significant, and our work ensures that parent and carer voices are heard at a local, regional, and national level.

We are currently finalising our next Forward Plan, with an ambition to create an inclusive, vibrant community, committed to everyone having a fair chance to discover who they are and what they can become.  We currently work with children and young people aged 5 to 30.
