Homework

At the beginning of each year pupils are issued a Homework planner. Please ensure these are returned to school each morning.

Supporting Learning at Home

We know that parents and carers play a vital role in supporting their child's learning. Working together helps children develop confidence, independence and positive learning habits that will benefit them throughout their education.

Teaching approaches continue to evolve as educational research develops, and you may notice that some methods used in school are different from those you experienced yourself, particularly in subjects such as mathematics and phonics. To help you support your child at home, we have provided a range of guidance and videos which explain some of the approaches we use in school.

Our homework activities are designed to reinforce key learning, develop independence and provide opportunities for children to practise and apply important skills. We aim to strike a balance between supporting learning at home and ensuring that children have plenty of time to enjoy family life, hobbies, interests and play.

We recognise that every family is different and that completing homework can sometimes be challenging. If your child is struggling with an activity or if there are circumstances affecting their ability to complete homework, please speak to your child's teacher so that we can offer support.

For children who need additional help or who are unable to complete homework at home, homework support sessions may be available during the school day, often during lunchtime. Further information will be provided by class teachers where appropriate.

Thank you for your continued support. By working together, we can help every child develop the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to flourish.
