Our thoughts on homework and parental engagement:
This table helps to explain our weekly routines of homework. We appreciate that there is never a 'one-size fits all' solution: some families prefer to do a minimal amount of homework and maximise their precious time together, others relish the opportunity to engage in home learning and would prefer as much of this as possible. Our approach aims to make a reasonable effort to satisfy all families.
We offer a minimal amount of compulsory homework, that is essential for your child to consolidate key skills from their learning in school. We then offer a range of optional activities across the week that you can choose, as parents, to engage with or not depending on your circusmtances and priorities.
