Support from our children's families is vital to the success and engagement children demonstrate in school. All children will be set homework to complete at home. 

Work at home will be set for each year group. The key focus is on reading and mathematics.

Remember - your child's planner has lots of useful pages to support your child's learning at home.

Your child's planner is designed to help communication between home and school. It will be used to record weekly information and any messages. When you have competed reading or any extra work at home, let us know with a quick note in the planner.
