description | For decades, the role of parental engagement in children’s schooling has been central to the promotion of learning and wellbeing outcomes for children. However, the recognition of diverse family structures, including where a child’s parents are separated, is largely absent from these models of engagement. Instead, prior research has focussed on the impacts of separation and divorce on children’s learning, resulting in a dearth of work on separated parents’ experiences of engaging with their children’s schools. In order to document these parents’ experiences, a qualitative survey was deployed. From this investigation, it is clear that diverse family structures, particularly those where parents are separated, are not well accommodated, or even well understood, in the schooling context. In many cases, however, small adjustments on the part of the school can make significant differences in enhancing parents’ successful involvement in their children’s education. |
