Home Learning:

We set carefully chosen homework to support your child in developing fluency in key areas. 

• Reading to support their progress and attainment in all areas of the curriculum. Pupils who read for pleasure almost always achieve more than their peers who do not across the wider curriculum, not just in English. Over the past four years, our pupils have outperformed pupils nationally in their reading SATs; with almost complete correlation, pupils who have read at home have scored higher than those who have not, and those who have struggled.
   
• Times Tables recall, where we aim for a recall of 3 seconds to support with the challenges of the SATs arithmetic 30-minute timed test.
   
• Spelling fluency, to support with your child with their written communication and to prepare them for the requirements of the SATs writing and grammar, punctuation and spelling test.

To support them with this, each week pupils are expected to complete:
 

• 20x rounds of Times Tables Rock Stars
• 300 points worth of practise on Spelling Frame
• 10-15 minutes daily reading at home 6 times a week

Pupils who complete the weekly homework expectations are rewarded with an additional playtime on Fridays.
