Learning at home
Home Learning
There is extensive evidence and research which supports the theory that completing additional work and activities at home benefits children in making better progress.
At Woodpecker we believe that home learning: -
- is an enjoyable and interesting experience for all involved,
- contributes significantly to a child’s progress,
- is an excellent opportunity for parents to become more familiar with their child’s learning
- allows children to receive extra adult support
- enhances children's learning through consolidating and extending the work they have done in school
- is a valuable life skill and develops good work habits for secondary school and future employment
- is be consistent across all classes in a year group and has consistent elements across the school
- is pitched at the right level for the child’s attainment
- is manageable for busy family lifestyles
Routines for home learning
Weekly home Learning is set on a Friday and must be completed by the Tuesday of the next week.
