Curriculum
Our school curriculum has been completely redesigned in order to continually improve academic standards and pursue new learning.
We strongly believe that teaching your children is a privilege and, as such, we are motivated to ensure learning opportunities are adapted and designed around their needs and interests.
Homework
Homework will be given out every Friday and needs to be completed and returned to school by the following Wednesday. Maths and English homework will be linked to developing the skills which are being taught throughout the year in lessons. In addition to this, children in Years 1, 2 and 3 should use the Lexia online phonics programme for 30 minutes per week and children in Years 4, 5 and 6 should use the online Reading Plus programme for 30 minutes per week. If Internet access is not available at home, arrangements will be made for children to use these online learning programmes in school.
