Homework

We follow government guidelines about the amount of homework in primary schools.  These range from one hour per week in Key Stage 1 to half an hour a day at Year 6. 

The pattern for homework will vary for each class.  However there is a strong emphasis on reading, writing, spelling and maths skills throughout the school.  As the children get older the homework will include a wide variety of investigative work on areas which the children are studying in history, geography or science. 

 

Good standards of presentation are encouraged and rewarded, as the aim of homework is to help the children’s learning at the same time as raising their self-esteem.
