This case study is set in a state primary school located in Malta’s Inner Harbour area, a region marked by rapid urban regeneration and low socio-economic realities despite its significance as a financial and business hub. The school serves a population characterised by a historic decline in residents and a shift in socio-economic demographics, with a notable percentage of the community living in social housing and receiving social benefits. With a population of about 150 students, predominantly Maltese, the school is nestled in a community where education is impacted by the area’s socio-economic challenges, such as higher illiteracy and unemployment rates compared to national averages. Despite these hurdles, the school has seen improvement in academic achievement. Over the past five years, the school’s continued and focused efforts to develop a culture of parental and community involvement has featured as a reliable and contributing factor to the school’s success in catering adequately for the holistic needs of its students, including those who are vulnerable and come from a disadvantaged family background.
