Children are expected to read at least three times a week to improve fluency and comprehension. Reading should be recorded in their planners and confirmed by an adult by signing the planner. Pupils also have home access to Times Table Rock Stars to improve their mental maths.

All children should practice the spellings recorded in their planners. These lists are made up of words that match the spelling rules taught during the week as well as individualised words that the children have misspelt in their learning.

All pupils are set online Math’s learning each week through ‘Mathletics’. Certificates are awarded for children who are successful and they also gain access to online maths games through completing this homework.

Pupils are also expected to learn times tables, which is a particular focus in Year 4.

Children in EYFS are encouraged to read at least three times a week and are provided with an optional activity based on their current learning to complete.

In order to prepare for secondary school and to get in the routine of completing more formal homework; Year Five pupils are set homework weekly, alternating between a reading activity and a maths activity. Year Six pupils are provided with both a reading and math’s homework each week.
