Home Learning Guidance

Home learning is given to the children regularly for a variety of reasons; it consolidates previous learning, enables teaching staff to gauge how much a pupil knows about an upcoming topic, develops pupils’ independence to learning and helps them to learn new things. We believe it is essential that our children understand that effective learning can take place outside of the classroom and develop a love of learning that will follow them through their lives.

If you have any questions about home learning, please speak to your child's class teacher in the first instance.
