Home Learning
The aims of home learning are:
- To practise, revise, reinforce and consolidate skills, concepts and knowledge previously learnt in school.
- To connect learning in school to the real world.
- To provide a valuable opportunity for pupils to share their learning with parents/carers.
- To prepare pupils as they transfer from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2 to Secondary School.
