Timetable
Our timetable can be downloaded below. Here, parents and pupils have the opportunity to view the class schedule to see the day-to-day routine including the range of curriculum that is covered. We have found that children with SEND have responded well to visually seeing the structure of the day ahead.

Home Learning
In Year 6, the children are expected to read at home each day, for at least 10 minutes. The school is currently in the process of implementing the Accelerated Reader scheme. More information will be communicated later about this.
Children are expected, alongside their weekly spellings every Friday, to learn the time’s tables shared with them by the class teacher. A times tables test will commence every Friday. Every Friday home learning will be set of Freckle Maths: Online Learning Platform.
Year 6 are expected to read at home daily, this should also be recorded in their reading record book. Which should be shown at school daily.
Revision Resources
Revision helps pupils to retain and confidently recall important information that they’ve learnt in their lessons. Here are some tips to remember when revising:
- Little and often (once a day) is better than one big push
- Get enough rest (tired minds don’t work as well)
- Drink plenty of fluids (thirsty minds do not work as well)
- Give yourself rewards if you complete your work everyday
- Ask if you find something you don’t understand
