Home Learning Activities

Homework

We know that pupils learn best when they practise. It helps them gain competence and helps them to improve. Even when pupils have mastered something, practising still has benefits: it reinforces the basic skills that they need to learn more advanced skills, it protects against forgetting and practice helps them to apply their knowledge and skills in different ways. Because of this, we expect all pupils to complete weekly homework.

Homework Tasks

Homework tasks are outlined by year group below and class teachers will inform children when homework is due back each week. The homework is designed to help pupils to practise while respecting family time. We do not set big art projects that require lots of time and resources, or long writing tasks.
