We have a Homework Policy which goes throughout the whole school. It aims to extend the taught curriculum and to encourage the children in self-learning and discipline. Tasks are carefully planned, and the school will provide resources as appropriate. Teachers will also feedback on and mark homework tasks.
Regular reading is a key part of our homework policy; we encourage all children to read for 10 minutes each evening in Key Stage 1, increasing to 20 minutes per evening in Key Stage 2. Children will have weekly spellings to learn from Year 1 onwards and will also have a weekly maths task. Children in Key Stage 2 have written homework that is set on Friday and is due back on the following Tuesday. This allows families the opportunity to complete homework even if they have a busy weekend.
We appreciate all the support that is given by parents, and try to ensure that the communication from school is clear and effective.
