Helping My Child at School

Helping My Child at School

At Crookston Castle, there are many ways in which we can work together to help our children to feel safe and support them to attain and achieve.

We actively encourage and welcome engagement in the life of our school by;

  • Coming along to open afternoons and assemblies
  • Engaging with your child’s seesaw
  • Attending parental meetings and parents’ evening

We also encourage you to support your child in their learning by ensuring;

  • Your child comes to school every day
  • Your child is at school on time
  • Your child comes appropriately dressed for school and ready to learn

Homework

At Crookston Castle, we value homework because;

  • It helps develop an effective partnership between school and parents and other carers in pursuing the aims of the school
  • It reinforces concepts, ideas and work habits learned at school
  • It gives pupils a chance to practise skills they are acquiring at school in a different setting
  • It offers pupils a chance to develop independent work habits
  • It can be used to encourage pupils to seek information from alternative sources to those available in school – local libraries, or by interviewing adults

Homework activities vary depending on stage, however all ages are encouraged to read each evening whether from school readers, novels, magazines, newspapers or reference books.
Homework activities will be assigned via seesaw on a weekly basis. We appreciate your support with homework.
