Home Learning Choice Boards Term 3 2022/23

As a school, we are currently re-evaluating our home learning grids. We are firstly focusing on P5-P7 home learning and are making changes to reflect the views expressed by champions, pupils and parents. We will then explore home learning from P1-P4.

The current P5-P7 home learning grids will last for a duration of 4 weeks. The next homework to be issued will have changes and alterations, and will reflect our new home learning structure in P5-P7. This has been discussed with all pupils at this stage. Further information will be issued along with our new grids.
