Home learning

We have recently been reviewing our home learning policy. Feedback from parents/carers has helped to shape this policy, which is attached below.

The term home learning refers to any work or activities which pupils are asked to do outside lesson time, either on their own or with parents/carers. Levels of home learning will increase as the children pass through the school. Children need support to ensure home learning and completion of home learning is a positive experience.

The key purpose of home learning is to support the child in their learning journey.

Home learning should:

• consolidate and reinforce skills in English and mathematics;
• extend school learning beyond the classroom;
• encourage pupils to develop confidence and self-discipline to study on their own;
• develop an effective partnership between the school and parents/carers;
• develop positive attitudes towards lifelong learning.
