Learning at home is a valuable way for children to enhance and develop their learning and one of the most powerful ways for parents and carers to support their child's education. 

We encourage all our children to read at home at least 20 minutes a day and we have a wide variety of other activities and resources for children to continue their learning out of school.

Please look at the Year Group pages to see how you can support your child with their learning at home.

Another exciting new book has just been released by Oxford Owl, written by Jon Burgerman.  The book has been inspired by conversations with his parent friends who weren’t sure how to explain what is happening right now to their small children, so he decided to do something to help.

The book "Everybody Worries" is written to support children try to manage and mitigate the worry and stress they may experience in the current world we live.  Jon aims to give a voice to the worries small children have by giving them a means of expressing their anxieties.

Please enjoy "Everybody Worries" with your children, here.
