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.
