Summary:	A look at how Shireland Collegiate Academy in the West Midlands improved performance, attendance and behaviour by ensuring every home had access to the internet. The school distributed 2,000 computers amongst parents, developed a portal which allowed them to check progress of their children and engage in school life. The website also provides community and lifestyle information which reaches out to families settling in the area. The school's strategy highlights the potential benefits of the Home Access programme, soon to be rolled out across the country, which makes grants available for a device, connectivity and support. Also featured are other projects that provide support or information for parents by using the internet or text messages. Including Dad's Space, a web service that assists contact between parents and children who have become separated and a messaging service, Advisory Centre for Education (ACE), providing professional advice on all parenting and educational issues.
