Home Learning at Reigate Park
At Reigate Park Primary Academy, we believe that Home Learning is an important aspect of a child’s education.
We believe it encourages children to realise that learning can take place outside of the classroom as well as promoting independent learning; thus encouraging the child to take great responsibility for their personal progress.
Home learning enables parents/carers and the school to work in partnership for the benefit of their child. The amount and type of home learning given is at a level which we believe to be reasonable and manageable.
We value the support of parents/carers and we believe that the Home Learning Policy will be successful if there is a strong partnership between home and school which is reflected in the Home-School Agreement.
We recognise that all children need leisure time and hope that our policy reflects a balance so that children can extend and consolidate their learning with parental support while still allowing ‘down time’.
When the children have been on a trip or a visitor has been in to school the home learning tasks may vary in response to these.
Homework is given on a regular basis across the school in line with the table below:
