Homework
A key partnership is the one that we have with the parents and carers of our pupils. We take every opportunity to encourage parents and carers to be involved in their children’s education in as many different ways as possible. Support with homework is one very important way of doing this.
Across all stages of our school we offer ‘home learning opportunities’ rather than setting ‘homework tasks’ which must be completed and returned by a set date. Each class teacher will be providing home learning opportunities on a weekly basis for your child. These may include one or more of the following:Reading: an opportunity to practise again the text which has already been introduced within class
Please be mindful that these are opportunities to support your child with their intended learning within school. Ultimately we hope that parents and children will see the benefit from further practise of learning. However, if there are times where you or your child are unable to engage in these opportunities the please do not feel pressurised into completing the opportunities provided.
For further advice and support with homework the following websites may be of use:
