Homework is an important part of learning and enables students to develop their independence and resilience across the curriculum.
We believe that home learning is an essential part of every student’s education, helping to reinforce learning, develop independent study skills and prepare students for assessments and future success. Completing home learning regularly builds personal responsibility, supports organisation and strengthens understanding of key concepts.
Research shows that regular home learning has a positive impact on progress, particularly for secondary school students. Home learning linked to classroom work is more effective, especially when students understand its purpose – whether to increase knowledge, develop fluency or apply learning in new contexts.
Home learning tasks will vary depending on the subject and year group. These may include:
The amount of home learning will increase as students progress through the school.
All children are expected to read to an adult 5 times a week. Parents or carers need to log this in the reading record. Every time the child achieves 25 reads their name will be read out in celebration assembly.
At the end of the year children in Reception who have read 200 times at home will receive an award. For children in Years 1-6 they need to read 225 times at home to receive an award.
EYFS/ Reception.
Year 1 - Year 5 Reading 5 times per week, practice their spellings, activity from the maths CGP book provided.
Year 6 Reading 5 times per week, practice their spellings, online activities on maths.co.uk and spag.com.
Teachers will monitor the setting and completion of home learning regularly, providing feedback to help students improve and deepen their understanding. Parents are encouraged to contact the class teacher by ClassDojo if their child needs additional support with home learning.
Home learning isn’t just about completing tasks – it’s about building confidence, reinforcing learning and discovering what’s possible.
