Homework Summary

Homework at Crowmarsh Gifford C of E Primary School is designed to support learning, build positive routines, and encourage independence. It should be a positive experience for children and families.

• Reading is the foundation of learning and is recommended every day.
• Homework encourages fluency, recall, discussion, and creativity.

Topic Tasks (Years R–4)

• Tasks can be presented in any way: photos, videos, artwork, scrapbooks, writing, or even something edible!
• Projects may take more than one week — take your time and enjoy the learning.

Parental Choice & Flexibility

• Homework is recommended to support learning, not to create pressure.
• Parents may decide what is manageable and beneficial for their child.
• If homework is not completed, there will be no sanctions.
• Our goal is to foster curiosity, independence, and a love of learning.
• Staff are happy to support families where needed.
