Learning beyond the classroom is a vital part of ensuring that our children succeed.
It helps teachers to maximise the learning time in class, and gives pupils the opportunity to extend and deepen their understanding. Students across the school are set a variety of tasks to complete outside of lessons. These will be set at a level appropriate to their age and their standard of attainment.
Home reading is essential for the development of reading and comprehension. Reading 3x weekly with your child supports this. Please sign your child’s reading record each time they have read.
There are a variety of websites and applications we use within school which you can access at home to support with your child’s development.
