How Home Learning works at Glebe
We believe that home learning can add much to a pupil’s development and attainment and therefore contributes to a child’s education.
Children benefit greatly from the mutual support of parents and teachers in encouraging them to learn both at home and at school. By valuing home-school learning, pupils are afforded the chance to practice skills, consolidate understanding of work covered in the classroom and to widen their own interests. Moreover, developing good study habits provides an opportunity for pupils to develop self-discipline, independence and the ability to take responsibility for their own learning.
The purpose of Home Learning
- Develop an effective partnership between school and parents for each child’s education, as children achieve more when teachers and parents work together,
- Consolidate/reinforce skills and understanding, particularly in Literacy and Numeracy,
- Utilise resources for learning available at home,
- Extend school learning
- Develop confidence, independence and the self-discipline needed for personal study in preparation for secondary school and beyond,
- Provide opportunities for parents and children to work together to enjoy learning experiences
The role of parents/carers with Home Learning
Parents/carers are encouraged to support their child’s home learning through:- Providing a reasonably peaceful, suitable place in which their child can do their home learning.
- Making it clear to the child that they value home learning.
- Encouraging and praising their child when home learning is completed.
- Reading with their child as frequently as possible
- Signing the home learning / reading record each week and write a comment when appropriate.
