Home Learning

We ask parents to help children, at all ages and stages, with learning activities at home.

We ask that sounds and basic number activities are practised in line with information and communications in the Early Years Reception classes. Whilst the children are engaged in daily phonics lessons access to e-books is set up for every family. When the children begin the more formal aspects of reading practice and sharing books are available at all times.

The introduction of more formal home learning throughout the ages is detailed in our home learning guideline and discussed with our staff. Tasks are set from Friday to Friday, so families can include them within their home schedules to suit. Copies of the tasks are on the class pages of the website.

Information sessions are held for parents to support their children's learning. Some include visits to watch work in progress and share tasks their children will be doing. Others are information sessions led by staff.

Further guidance is shared at parent/teacher consultation meetings, held termly. Information and links to useful sites are sent in newsletters and published on the website.
