Following our consultation with pupils, parents/carers and teaching staff we have refreshed our homework policy moving in to term 3. This will ensure consistency across the school and will ensure we are meeting the needs of all of our pupils and families. Just under half of our families felt that home learning was important, with over a fifth of families sharing they felt it was not important. A very high number of families also share that they found home learning stressful, frustrating, a struggle and demanding. Almost all families felt that reading was important and this is why we have referenced the importance of reading for pleasure in our new policy. We have also introduced a termly extended family learning activity. A copy of our homework policy can be viewed by clicking on the link below –
