We check this every week and any homework not completed will be completed during breaks and lunchtimes at school with support from staff.
We will offer lunchtime clubs for children to stay in to complete any of their homework if they choose to.

Other
As you may be aware, the children will be doing SATs tests in May. We will be doing lots of work in school in order to prepare the children for them, but it makes a huge difference if you read every day with your child at home and encourage them to practise their spellings and complete their homework on time.
