The school actively promotes partnership with parents/carers in their child’s learning and asks parents/carers to spend time at home reading, discussing news items, playing number games to reinforce tables and time etc. with their child.  As a result of recent research we provide our pupils with very little homework.  Primary 1 children are given tasks which are designed to reinforce the learning of new sounds and all children in Primary 1-7 are given reading tasks.  Two of the most important things parents/carers can do to help their child in school are to read with them and to eat a meal together, at a table, without the television on.

 

Each term class teachers provide an overview of what learning with take place in school.  This is issued to parents/carers along with some guidance on how they can help at home.
