Homework
We ask parents to enter into an agreement to hear their children
read at home for 5–10 minutes, two or three times a week.
Parents will be asked to attend a meeting soon after their child
starts school to find out about our Home School Reading Policy
and the methods we use to help children learn to read, as well as
other important information which is written in a parent pamphlet.
Please encourage your children to return their reading books to
school regularly. You will also be asked to supervise and help
with other kinds of homework. Your child’s Teacher will arrange
this with you.
Transfer To Secondary
School
In the September after they are eleven, the children transfer to
secondary school. We want to make this as smooth and easy
for them as possible. Visits are arranged so that the children can
meet their new Teachers and find their way around their new
school. Parents can choose whichever secondary school they
want for their children. We often take part in joint projects with
the Academy and other Secondary Schools to make transfer as
positive as possible for the children.
