Homework

Homework Policy

  1. We want to support parents to help their children at home.
  2. We want a consistent approach so parents and children know what to expect.
  3. We want to consolidate and reinforce learning.
  4. We want to encourage skills of independence & resilience.
  5. We want homework to be achievable and enjoyable, not onerous or create stress.

Overview of Expectations

  • Homework will be set by each class teacher.
  • Each class’s homework grid can be found their class page.

Weekly tasks include;

  • Reading – minimum of three times per week with parents signing Reading Record books to help establish a good reading pattern with children
  • Learning a spelling list (these will be tested each week)

EYFS (Reception)

  • Focus of homework is learning together – focus is mainly English based to support language development.
  • Reading- parents will receive information about the phonics work we are completing so you can support with this at home. We ask that parents read TO their children on a regular basis as well as encouraging children to read TO parents were they are able.
  • Letter formation – parents are asked to help children with their writing, being able to form letters makes a big difference to their writing.
  • Key Words & Tricky Words – we will share these with parents and ask you to spend time looking at them with your child.

KS1 (Y1 & Y2)

  • Focus is on Maths & English.
  • Reading three times a week for approx. 10-15mins each time (minimum).
  • Parents should continue to balance reading to their child and hearing their child read.

KS2 (Y3, 4, 5 & 6)

  • Focus is Maths & English but important skill is independent learning!
  • Reading three times a week for approx. 20-30mins each time (minimum).
  • It is vital that children still hear adults reading to them as good models to copy!
  • It is vital that children discuss what they have read!

Please note:  The children will be tested weekly on their timestables as this is a weak point for most of the children and a crucial part of their learning!  The children need to be reciting their timestables at home, whenever and wherever possible!
