We believe that children’s learning should extend beyond the classroom.
Our Home Learning aims to:
- consolidate, reinforce and extend skills and understanding
- provide opportunities for parents and children to work together
- allow parents to gain an understanding of what children are learning in school
- allow children to progress towards becoming more independent learners.
