Homework

At Speenhamland we value homework and see it as an opportunity to develop fluency, especially within basic skills in both English and Maths.  All children are expected to read on a daily basis from EYFS through to Year 6. 

In addition, in Infants there is a piece of Maths that focuses on number bonds or times tables and also a set of spellings that should be learnt on a weekly basis. 

In Upper Juniors there is a piece of Maths and English set, which relates directly to the in class learning. 

It is expected that all children will complete the homework is set, and there is a Homework Club, staffed by a teacher, to support the children who may find this difficult, to be able to do this.
