At St Margaret’s Primary we aim to cater for all families within our school context and therefore acknowledge and recognise the value of time spent out of school on extra-curricular activities. We have therefore tried to incorporate the views and opinions of all of our families to ensure that our home learning opportunities cater for the differing needs of those involved. We believe that home learning plays an important role in your child’s educational development and helps to increase the partnership between parents and school. The homework process fosters the shared responsibility and positive attitude to learning that every parent can share with their child.
The resources found on our school’s website will help support your child with their home learning. This includes optional home learning challenges and a list of websites to further develop your child’s learning across the four capacities of the Curriculum for Excellence.
