In Phase 1 homework can be supported by parents, and as children get older we expect them to become more and more independent when completing homework tasks. Learning to work independently is an important skill that we want our children to learn in readiness for secondary school and beyond. Older children will benefit from having a regular homework routine that includes having a quiet area to work. We expect all children to make an effort to complete their homework, so if there are any problems with this please speak with your child’s class teacher.
As well as homework, all children are expected to read at home at least three times a week for 15-30 minutes depending on their age. Please add a comment to your child’s Reading Record book so teachers can see that your child has read at home.
Homework is issued via your child’s Google Classroom page and can be handed back digitally through Google Classroom or in person by handing to the class teacher.
