We believe in letting parents and carers know what and how we are learning, so that they can support and reinforce their children’s learning at home through learning diaries such as Reading Record Books.
The school also sets the high score on developing independent learning. One way of doing this involves the ‘Learning Logs’. These encourage independence very well because the home tasks set in them simply involve pupils demonstrating, in any way they wish, that they understand and have achieved one of the objectives for learning in that week.

Mathematics
Teaching for Mastery is the approach we are using to support Mathematical development and understanding through underpinning children’s learning in real-life contexts, developing fluency and promoting deep and sustainable learning.
Travel to school
We encourage parents to walk to school, or use methods of transport other than the car. The benefit of this is the reduction of cars on the roads as well as the improved health and fitness of the children. We have cycle racks for bicycles.
Reading
We truly value the importance of encouraging your child to read at home or within the their environment. Children should read regularly to parents and family members at home. Reading
at home is just as important as reading at school.
Summer reading competitions
It is very important to keep up with reading during the summer holidays and the library service always run a good incentive to support you with this. http://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/
