Walking Home
Children in Years 5 and 6 may walk home from school with signed permission from their parents or carers. If you require a copy of the letter, please see the school office or the attached document below.
Homework
Homework is given out every Friday and should be returned to school by the following Thursday. Homework is an opportunity for you to be aware of your child’s learning in Maths and English, as well as support them to be as best prepared as possible for their SATs, and their next phase at secondary school. Please speak to their teacher if you have any concerns.
