Every week:

Every week in each class teachers will be sending home: maths (number facts or times tables), reading (please read out loud and discuss) and spelling.  This homework is not optional and repeated incidences of non-completion will result in an invitation to lunchtime homework club where we can support children to complete their homework.

Half termly - optional creative task linked to a curriculum topic in a foundation subject:

In addition to the weekly homework, there will be a creative, more open task each half term related to the curriculum topic which the children would love to do with you if you have time.  This will be issued at the beginning of a new topic and will run the length of the topic (half-termly).  This homework is optional.  We very much hope that you and your child can work together on it but we understand that people have busy lives so if you want to stick to the basics we understand.  Please remember to hand it in before the topic finishes.

Weekly Expectations:

Below is a table outlining expectations for amount of homework set in any year group.

On occasion, teachers may offer extra non-compulsory homework to help children who would like to do more at home.  If you have any queries about any of the above, then please speak to your child’s teacher. We are always happy to help. 

If children wish to complete their homework in school, need access to the internet, or need help, there are lunchtime homework clubs that are open to all.
