Home Learning

Reading

At Chilwell Coft, we encourage families to make reading a central part of home learning. Sharing books helps children develop a love of stories and literature, while also supporting the phonics skills they are practising in class.

Home learning activities are designed to reinforce these important areas of the curriculum, giving children opportunities to enjoy reading and build confidence in their growing skills.

By working together, we can –

• Nurture a lifelong enjoyment of books
• Strengthen the foundations for successful learning
• Make a real difference to every child’s future.

Maths

We also place great importance on developing children’s understanding of numbers and problem‑solving. Early experiences with mathematics help children become familiar with key concepts and encourage curiosity about how numbers work in everyday life.  Universal access to the Times Tables Rockstars programme ensures all pupils enjoy the challenge that maths can provide in a modern fun way.

Home Learning and Support Beyond the Classroom

Each half term, children are given a creative learning project linked to a key element of our broad curriculum.  This enables pupils to work deeply, producing imaginative and unique results!   Home learning tasks support this by reinforcing classroom learning and giving children the chance to explore mathematical ideas in practical and engaging ways. By partnering with families and providing clear guidance, we ensure that learning continues beyond the classroom, helping children thrive and giving parents the tools to feel confident in supporting their child’s education. Together, we create strong foundations that truly transform outcomes for pupils.
