Home Learning

Home Learning Expectations  

  • Home learning plays a vital role in reinforcing and extending the skills pupils develop at school, particularly in key areas such as reading, spelling, and maths.  

  • Regular reading at home helps to build fluency, comprehension, and a lifelong love of books, while practising spelling supports accurate writing and vocabulary development.  

  • Engaging with maths activities outside the classroom strengthens number fluency and problem-solving skills.
