Supporting Your Child

As your child grows up they will need on-going support from the school and of course from parents.

There are a number of ways in which you can support your child including:

Attending every parents evening.
Asking them about what they have learnt.
Supporting them with their homework.

Tips for Homework

Set aside a place for homework - provide a table, chair and a quiet place to work (TV doesn't help concentration, quiet music might)Set aside a special time when homework is to be done and make sure they also have free time too
Checking the time spent on individual tasks
Make sure they have the necessary equipment (eg pens, pencils, calculator, ruler etc.)
Help your child to plan the time for each task, especially when they have a lot to complete, encourage short breaks every 20 minutes
Checking presentation and content of all homework being returned to school
Signing the homework planner each week
Providing the school with information about any problems through the student planner or by contacting the school directly
