Supporting Home Learning

The curriculum we deliver has been adapted for our flexi-school provision, our core days (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) are crammed with curriculum learning and additional curriculum breadth experiences. However, it is an impossible feat to fit everything into three days that we would normally cover in five! Here you will find maths and English learning intentions and some useful resources. Each class produces a termly overview which details the learning for each half term in all subject areas. Class teachers are always happy to discuss the curriculum with parents and carers and are happy to help provide suggestions and support for home learning.

If you would like any further information regarding your home learning days, please feel free to contact your class teacher who can advise you on what to cover. Do remember though, these are days that you have made a commitment to teach your child, the school will support you, but will not be making provision for these days.
