Home Learning

Love • Courage • Respect

Weekly Home Learning As a school, we have reviewed our home learning policy to ensure it is meaningful and valuable for our children. Home learning helps pupils by:
  • Complimenting and reinforcing classroom learning
  • Fostering good lifelong learning and study habits
  • Providing an opportunity for pupils to become responsible for their own learning
  • Developing self-regulation processes such as goal-setting, self-efficacy, self-reflection and time management
  • Supporting partnerships with parents by connecting families with the learning of their children
 Home Learning Expectations Much of our home learning is now accessible online and you will have been given a login for this.

Feedback and Marking of Home Learning: All pieces of home learning will be acknowledged by the teacher who set it. This acknowledgement may be verbal or written. Most home learning set is intended to reinforce the current learning in class and, therefore, home learning will not be marked to the same level of detail as class work is. For Years 5 and 6, maths.co.uk allows the children to see any incorrect answers and how to correct these. Personalised Home Learning: Home learning will be differentiated when appropriate. Your child’s class teacher will contact you to discuss activities, expectations and time guidance if this applies to your child.
