More parents now say they are reading with their children and helping them with homework.
In a survey, nearly four out of five parents (79%) said they read with their children, compared to 70% in 2004.
More than half said they always or mostly help their children with their homework. Four out of five also said they worked with them on school projects, made things with them, and played sport with them.
The survey, paid for by the government, showed that parents prefer informal face to face contact as a way of keeping in touch with their child’s school.
Most parents were very positive about the information provided by schools. Half said they felt very involved in their child’s education – and parents with children with special educational needs were more likely to feel this.
But SEN parents were less likely than others to feel they had a say in how their school was run, and more thought there was too much jargon in schools.
