Prendergast Primary School

Home Learning

At Prendergast Primary, we take a whole-school approach to home learning. We start in Early Years and continue all the way through Year 6.

Home Learning in Early Years

In EYFS, parents are encouraged to:

  • Read together every night – share a book with your child.
  • Practice letters and sounds using the support packs provided by teachers.
  • Listen to your child read using our Little Wandle scheme via Collins Hub or the book swap system.
  • Complete home learning projects linked to curriculum topics later in the year.
  • Explore Maths Seeds after attending a parent workshop and receiving login details.

Years 3–6

Home learning builds on Year 2 expectations, with extra online learning opportunities:

  • Spelling Shed for spellings.
  • Learning by Questions for Maths and English.
  • Other online programs may also be used to support learning.

We believe that regular home learning helps children build skills, confidence, and a love of learning.
