How You Can Help at Home
Parents and carers play a vital role in supporting children’s learning — and the great news is, even small actions can make a big difference!
Learning is most powerful when it’s shared, so we encourage you to enjoy being part of your child’s learning journey. Whether it’s chatting about their day, reading together, or helping with homework, your support really matters.
Here’s how you can help:
- 🏡 Create a calm space for homework: A quiet, comfortable spot can help your child focus and feel ready to learn.
- 💬 Talk about the importance of homework: Help your child understand that homework supports their progress and helps build independence.
- 🌟 Celebrate effort and success: A little praise goes a long way! Recognising your child’s hard work boosts confidence and motivation.
