Parentkind

Parentkind champions all the ways parents engage in their children's education in England, Wales & NI

Parentkind

Our mission is to tirelessly support and champion all the ways parents can participate in education and have their voices heard. We want to be a powerful force for good in education in the UK that strives to bring homes and schools together for the good of all children and society as a whole. In February 2018 we changed our name from PTA UK to Parentkind. We did this to help achieve this mission and better reflect the range of ways in which we will support all parents in their child’s education and school life. We are proud to be the leading membership organisation for parent teacher associations in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
