Home Learning

Our approach to home learning is built around the summary of international evidence provided by the Educational Endowment Foundation (EEF) in January 2020. This evidence suggest that parents can support children in homework completion and in develop effective learning habits, and suggest that short, focused activities linking directing to what is being taught in class are most effective.

This additional practice at home helps the children embed learning in their long term memories as research shows that regular retrieval of knowledge can help children more effectively remember key concepts.

We aim to make home learning as easy as possible for parents to access and support at home.  It is important that homework is convenient for parents to incorporate successfully into their daily lives and does not become a burden that takes away from quality family time.

We encourage children to:

• Read every night
• Learn spellings that are based around the recent Sounds-Write lessons
• Reinforce maths number work

Children have knowledge organisers which show important information and key vocabulary in their current learning that we want the children to learn. Termly class letters suggest ideas for home/school projects to excite and engage the children in their foundation subject learning.
