Homework
Homework is a great way for children to develop self-discipline and a positive attitude towards learning. We’ve worked hard to create a homework system that helps children revisit and strengthen what they’ve learned at school in a way that feels manageable and supportive.
From Reception to Year Five, homework is assigned weekly through Google Classroom, along with daily expectations for reading and number work to help develop strong, lasting skills. We encourage children to develop responsibility, confidence, and independence in their learning right from the start of their school journey. Our consistent approach means that both children and parents know what to expect, making homework a positive part of the week.
In Year Six, homework is set daily to help prepare your child for the important transition to secondary school. This daily routine builds confidence and good learning habits that will benefit them as they take this next step.
To support children who might need a little extra help, we also run a homework club where they can complete some of their homework with guidance from our staff.
If you’d like to learn more, you can find all the details in our Homework Policy here.
In case of a whole school closure or if your child needs to learn remotely, you can find guidance and expectations in our Remote Learning Policy here.
We’re always happy to support you and your child with homework, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
