Pupil Jobs and Homework Expectations

As it is a new year we thought it would be a good time to revisit our pupil, parents and staff expectations.
Pupils are expected to:

1. Be ready & turn up every day on time
2. Be responsible and do their best in every lesson
3. Be respectful and be kind and polite to everyone that they meet

Parents and carers are expected to:

1. Ensure that our children arrive on time for school and ready to learn:

a. We will have provided our children with a healthy breakfast
b. They will have warm clean clothing
c. We will make sure they have the right equipment for school (book bag, reading record, PE kit)

2. We will support our children’s learning at home through:

a. Reading regularly
b. Helping them to practise their spellings and mental maths
c. Encouraging them in their interests

3. We will model politeness and kindness to every-one we meet

We will ensure that our staff are professional, approachable and focused on making sure that every child in their care achieves their full potential. Working together we can continue to deliver outstanding results for our pupils so that they have every chance of going on to succeed at the next stage of their education.

All pupils are expected to continue their learning at home. For children in years 1-6 there are three core elements for this:

1. Pupils must read every night 15 mins (this may involve an adult reading them a bedtime story) 
2. Pupils must practise their spellings for 15 mins ready for the test on Friday 
3. Pupils must practise their times tables for 15 mins a night 

In addition to this we have a Learning Challenge which is set by every Year group. This helps to give ideas on how the children can enrich their learning by looking at specific paintings, composers, poems and significant people. We would anticipate that it takes around 4-6 weeks for your child to complete the activities. They choose to do this and can take on as many elements as they wish.
