Homework
Homework will be set weekly for the children focusing on reading, maths or grammar.
Reading is expected at least 5 times a week and the children will also be given opportunity within the school week for independent reading. We encourage as much reading as possible - even 5 minutes! This will be monitored via the Accelerated Reader programme.
Times tables are a vital part of supporting children with their learning in maths so again please can we encourage children to practice these as much as possible via Times Table Rock Stars or timestables.co.uk.
Homework will be set on a Monday and is required for the following Monday.

The papers are both set and marked externally. Your child’s marks will be used in conjunction with teacher assessment to give high schools a broader picture of their attainment. After SATs, each child will receive a scaled score for each subject (reading, maths and GPS) and whether they have reached the expected standard set by the Department for Education.
The range of scaled scores available for each KS2 test is:
- 80 (the lowest scaled score that can be awarded)
- 120 (the highest scaled score)
The expected standard for each test is a scaled score of 100 or more. If a child is awarded a scaled score of 99 or less they won't have achieved the expected standard in the test.

Year 6 will investigate why populations change by analysing data, taking part in fieldwork, and exploring factual information. They will study birth and death rates and the factors that influence them, examine reasons why people migrate, consider how climate change affects population patterns, and explore how population growth impacts the environment.
