IF YOU NEED HELP WITH HOMEWORK, PLEASE SPEAK TO YOUR CHILD'S CLASS TEACHER.

At St Mary's, homework serves as a vital link between school and home, reinforcing classroom teachings and promoting independent learning. The homework is designed to match what we're learning in school, and it helps us learn important skills like being responsible and managing our time. We aim to equip your children with the skills and knowledge necessary for success in both academic and real-world challenges. 

Below are the homework expectations per week:

EVERY CHILD MUST READ DAILY - to support their decoding, fluency and understanding. 

EYFS:

• Phonics 

Year 1:

• My Maths - minimum 1 session 

Year 2:

• Times Tables Rockstars - 10 minutes daily
• My Maths - minimum 1 session

• Times Tables Rockstars - 10 minutes daily - expectation of 80 correct questions

Year 6:

• My Maths, Bedrock and TT Rockstars completion is measured on Thursday morning at 8am each week – the week is from Thursday 3.30pm to the following Thursday 8am
• Children are expected to complete the home learning detailed
• Homework Club is for My Maths, Bedrock and TT Rockstars
• Children will attend Homework Club on Thursday lunchtime to complete any homework that is outstanding
• Children scoring 23/25 in their weekly TT Rockstar Soundcheck do not need to complete daily Rockstars as part of their homework
• Children who have completed My Maths with great effort will not be required to attend Homework Club

Spellings will be sent home for children to practise, however, these do not need to be brought back into school.

Times tables need to be known by year 4 - this is when children will take the Government's times table test.  If children do not know their timetables after this time, they will need daily practise at home so they are able to access future learning.

We recognise that homework must be a balance of consolidating learning and allowing enough time at home for clubs, family time and other leisure activities.  

Likewise, we recognise that many children wish to complete more homework than is directed, they are able and welcome to complete more if they wish.
