Homework in Reception

We ask that parents support their child by reading their home reading book every night and helping them practice words from their phonics word list.

Homework in Year 1

We ask that parents support their child by reading their home reading book every night and helping them practice words from their phonics word list. Parents should also support their child on Numbots. This online platform is great for helping children gain a secure understanding of number, number bonds, addition and subtraction. Homework in Year 2

We ask that parents support their child by reading their home reading book every night and helping them practice words from their phonics word list (if applicable) or from their spelling list. Parents should also support their child on TT Rockstars. This online platform is great for helping children gain a secure understanding of their 'times tables', enabling them to rapidly recall multiplication and division facts. 

Homework in Years 3 and 4

We ask that parents support their child by reading their home reading book every night and helping them practice words from their spelling list. Parents should also support their child on TT Rockstars. This online platform is great for helping children gain a secure understanding of their 'times tables', enabling them to rapidly recall multiplication and division facts. 

Homework in Years 5 and 6

We ask that parents support their child by reading their home reading book every night and helping them practice words from their spelling list. Children in Years 5 and 6 may also be issued with a piece of English homework and a piece of maths homework weekly. If issued, this will be sent home on a Friday. Children must return their completed homework on or before a Wednesday. 

Parents should also support their child on TT Rockstars. This online platform is great for helping children gain a secure understanding of their 'times tables', enabling them to rapidly recall multiplication and division facts. 

Homework should always be completed in pencil, neatly written and books/worksheets should be taken care of. We want to instill in the pupils a sense of independence and responsibility for their homework being completed to the highest standard possible and in on time. This is to aid their transition into secondary school, where the expectations of homework become more demanding on the pupils.
