Homework
Why do we value homework at St John’s?
- Homework can make an important contribution to pupils’ progress
- Homework encourages pupils to develop the skills and attitudes necessary for lifelong learning
- To extend / consolidate / reinforce the skills, knowledge and understanding developed in the classroom
- Encourage pupils to develop long term strategies for independent work and study
- Help pupils to develop skills in organisation and meeting deadlines
- To provide opportunities for parents and carers to work together to enjoy learning
- To prepare pupils for High School
What types of homework should I expect my child to get?
- Daily reading is highly encouraged.
- Weekly spellings will be sent out.
- For pupils in years 5 and 6, we have subscribed to a new online platform called 'SAT's Companion'. This is an online resource which provides a personalised pathway of learning for maths, reading and grammar. It is an interactive resource which children enjoy using! Further information and log-ins will be sent out during the Autumn term.
