Home Learning
What is the rationale behind our approach to Home Learning?
According to the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), the benefit of primary children doing additional work at home equates to a “+2 months” impact against a control of doing nothing. The EEF further cites that ‘short, focused tasks which relate directly to what is being taught, and which are built upon in school, are likely to be more effective’.
Through Home Learning, pupils are encouraged to participate in a range of regular, bitesize activities which correspond directly with work done in class. Tasks will either be part of:
Teachers in each year group generate a clear, sequential scheme which is bespoke to their class, evolves over time, and adapts to the needs of individual children.
What does Home Learning look like?
How will I know what the Home Learning is each week? Where will I find it?
How will I know if my child’s teacher has checked my child’s Home Learning?
| What is my Home Learning task? | How long should it take me? | Where will it fit into my learning at school? |
