KS2 HOMEWORK

Following consultation with parents (via Google Forms), pupils and teachers, we have decided to change the way we set homework in KS2.  Rather than have the books we have previously used, we will use Google applications (e.g. Google Forms, Google Slides and Google Docs). This proved very successful when we trialed it last week in maths. 

This has several benefits:

Work will be set by teachers so that it directly reflects the learning completed in class

Teachers can analyse the results so that they can tailor their lessons accordingly

Pupils and parents get instant feedback once it has been submitted

It saves paper (and plastic) 

A lunchtime homework club will be set up for those pupils who do not have access to the internet at home.  Please advise via the school office if your child needs to attend.   

Tip - If your child has access to a tablet / ipad, it may be beneficial to download the Google Classroom App which will make completing homework easier.     

Thank you to all parents who took part in the survey.  Your ongoing support is much appreciated.

With kind regards,

Mr Richards

Deputy Head Teacher
