Helping Your Child Learn at Home
We encourage all families to read with their children every night. Children take home levelled reading books as well as a library book each week.
Homework is given from Reception class upwards on a weekly basis. Children have homework books to complete activities. Termly Curriculum Newsletters from each class detail types of homework to be covered, when it is set, when to return it and the length of time children should spend completing work.
The following websites are free and are appropriate educational sites to support learning and the National Curriculum:
