Home Learning

We understand the impact that rehearsal and practise at home can have on our pupils recall and remembering. 

Based on feedback from parents and carers, we have opted to keep weekly home learning expectations simple for all year groups. 

We expect every pupil to read at home for a minimum of five times per week.
