Home Learning At Queen Victoria Primary School
At Queen Victoria Primary School, we believe that home learning plays a crucial role in supporting children’s academic and personal development. We are committed to providing a well-rounded education that aligns with our CARE principles: Children at the heart, Aspiration, Responsibility, and Excellence.
The Importance of Home Learning
Home learning is an integral part of our curriculum, designed to reinforce the skills and knowledge children acquire in the classroom. By engaging in regular home learning activities, children have the opportunity to consolidate their understanding, develop independent study habits, and foster a love of learning. It’s also a great way for parents to show their interest in their child’s education and encourage them to value their work.
Partnership Between Home and School
We recognise that home learning is a shared responsibility between the school and parents. Our teachers work closely with families to ensure that home learning is not a burden, but rather a valuable extension of the learning that takes place in the classroom. We provide clear guidance and support to help parents and caregivers engage with their child’s learning at home.
Daily Reading Practice
At the heart of our home learning approach is the expectation that all children will read at home for at least 10 minutes each day. Reading not only develops essential literacy skills but also exposes children to a wealth of new ideas and experiences.
Homework to Support Basic Skills
To complement the daily reading and spelling practice, we provide targeted homework assignments that reinforce the basic skills children are learning in school. These activities may include maths fact fluency, handwriting exercises, spelling practice or short writing tasks. By focusing on these fundamental skills, we empower children to become confident and capable learners.
If you have any questions or concerns about home learning, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or the school office. We are here to support you and your child on their educational journey.
