We are really enthusiastic about supporting our families at home and recognise how crucial the support you provide for your child at home is for their ongoing learning journey.

GEPs (Group Education Plan) and IEPs (Individual Education Plan)

Each term you will receive a copy of your child’s GEP for Maths and English which outlines the targets they will be working towards that term. You can use these targets to help support your child’s learning at home. A copy of your child’s IEP will come home three times a year, usually at the October, February and May half terms (though this may be slightly different depending on when your child’s annual review meeting will take place). These outline the short term targets your child will be working on to meet the annual target in place on your child’s EHCP (Education Health Care Plan). These will be discussed and reviewed at your child’s annual review meeting.

Reading at home

Every child brings home a reading diary and two books, which are changed weekly. One of these books is selected by staff and is at the appropriate level for your child’s reading ability. Your child should be able to read this book to you and it’s great to read this book at least three times during the week. The other book is a book your child has chosen in the school library and is intended for you to enjoy together. Your child may not be able to read this book independently. Please write in the reading diary to share what you have been reading. You can record any books you have been reading at home here, not just the two books sent home. Your child’s reading diary has targets linked to the stage of reading development they are at, which can be used to help you develop your child’s reading skills.

Other Home Learning Opportunities

Each week the class send out a newsletter which outlines some of the learning that has taken place during the week and may make some suggestions for activities you can choose from to complete at home to support your child’s learning. We also send out a topic-based home learning suggestion sheet at the beginning of each half term. 

Below are some websites the children can access to support learning at home:
