Music Provision
Music lessons are a regular feature of the school curriculum for all pupils from Reception to Year 7. Pupils in Year 4 learn to play the recorder and tuition in a range of musical instruments including violin, flute, clarinet and saxophone is also available. Instrumentalists have an opportunity to play as part of an instrumental music group.
Homework
We encourage some homework from early on and parents may help by establishing a routine homework pattern. In Reception, Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 parents may help with reading activities, counting games or by reading to their children. It is important to remember that children enjoy hearing a book several times. In Year 4 pupils will have written homework as well as reading. We suggest that the homework is done after children have had a break but before they become too tired. From Year 5 - Year 7 children will have more homework but we feel they should spend no longer than 30-45 minutes on it. Homework time should be a time of sharing work and should not create conflict between parent and child. A homework policy giving further details of homework is available for parents' guidance.
