All staff are pleased to share their thoughts about the way the children are developing with parents and carers.
We fully encourage parents to take part in everyday school life, wherever possible, as this support and involvement enhances the learning process. If you would like more information, please speak to your child’s class teacher or contact the school office.
We keep parents and carers informed on a regular basis through newsletters, social media and daily conversations at the beginning or end of the day. If you wish to arrange a meeting with a class teacher, please speak to them or arrange via our school office.
We inform you about how well your child is doing at school through 3 termly parents’ evenings and an annual report. Parents’ evenings are a great opportunity to gain a clear understanding of your child’s progress and next steps.
Our approach to homework is based upon a positive partnership between home and school, enabling the child to make links between learning at home and at school.
Our school’s homework is designed to allow the children’s curiosity, towards their learning, to thrive. It offers a range of activities linked to the curriculum and allows the children to build their understanding and skills in a range of curriculum areas.
The tasks are linked to recent learning in school to both consolidate and extend the children’s learning, while there are some additional activities which should build increasing interest and give the children opportunities to discover or show interests.
Each week, every year group will have a range of basic skills to complete for their homework, including phonics sounds (where appropriate), number bonds (where appropriate), multiplication tables, spelling and handwriting.
All children in Years 1 to 6 have accounts with Times Tables Rockstars and Spelling Shed. Please speak to your child’s class teacher if you do not have the login or password details.
