We recognise that there are many pressures on children and families these days. To support wellbeing, we restructured home learning in 2025 to allow for more parental choice and flexibility, while still encouraging high expectations and ensuring children secure key skills at the right time.
Parents were invited to give their views on home learning. Responses from the survey were considered along with research evidence and our school context as we revised our home learning expectations.
We prioritise high-quality reading at home because this has the most significant positive impact on progress. Reading, spelling, number facts/times tables and handwriting are set as key home learning and expected to be completed on time to the best of your child’s ability.
To complement this, we provide optional, weekly English and maths resources on the class pages as support for parents to use, setting an expectation you feel appropriate for your child in ‘Going the Extra Mile!’
