Homework
As a school, we encourage children to continue their learning through interesting and imaginative tasks set by their class teacher. Creative homework is currently set half termly, whilst English and Maths homework is set fortnightly. In Reception, phonics activities are set weekly and are a great way for parents to share in their children's early learning experiences.
In addition to this, regular reading habits are encouraged and rewarded in school.
We actively encourage parents to support their children with homework whenever possible to maximise its impact and enjoyment. Some of the wonderful creations that come into school really demonstrate family involvement and are always valued in school.
