Home Learning

We believe that home learning is an important part of the partnership we have with parents in supporting children to learn.

Home learning is increased progressively as children move through the school.  It is particularly useful to reinforce learning but is also used to encourage children to engage in the exploration of new areas of study.

Reporting Pupil Progress

At the end of the Reception Year each child is assessed against the Early Learning Goals of the Foundation Stage Curriculum.  Each child in Year 2 and Year 6 is assessed in the summer term according to the statutory National Curriculum assessment arrangements.

Parent consultation evenings are held during the Autumn and Spring Terms. A written report is sent home in July, clearly outlining your child’s progress and development, together with future targets.
