All children from Reception to Year 6 are expected to complete homework.  It is intended to be a positive experience that helps to develop independent learning skills, establish routines and responsibilities, in preparation for future learning. Parents/Carers are expected to support their child with the homework but not to do the homework for the child.

Our expectations are that the children will complete the following amount per week:

Homework is given out on Friday and must be completed by Thursday the following week, when the homework book or any activities completed must be bought into school.  If children do not complete their homework they are given time to do it in breaktimes or lunchtimes on Friday and Monday.

Homework is sent out using the MarvellousMe app. If you need a copy of your child's unique access code please ask the school office for any support with logging on to the sites below.

All children are expected to complete the following:

1. Spellings

Reception class have a sound book with the focus sounds and tricky words in for the week that parents can spot with them in reading and games throughout the week.

Children in Years 1-6 will practise their weekly spellings with games created at home, you will receive a Marvellous Me each week with your child’s score from the weekly assessment on a Friday. 

2. Maths

Mathletics is the school online maths homework app for Y2 to Y6, Reception and Year 1 have Mathseeds. Children have two weekly tasks set each Friday to be completed over the week, once completed the children can play many additional games.

At the end of the project homework period your child will receive a MarvellousMe in recognition of their hard work.  All children share their project homework with their class.

5. Additional Homework

Different ages or children will receive homework at different times to help consolidate learning or prepare for Secondary School. If any school work is unfinished in school children will be expected to complete this at breaktimes or at home the next day.

For parents/carers who would like to provide more opportunities we have free workbooks in English and Maths for each age, simply ask your child's teacher or the school office to arrange collection.

Parent Workshops run throughout the school year to support parents to know about what is taught in school, the expectations of each year and how children can be supported.  See the calendar or ask the office team for details of the next opportunity
