Each child is given a homework and reading record at the beginning of the year. This has proved over time to be an invaluable aid to the child and to home/ school links.

The pupil

• Cares for the diary
• Ensures that homework assignments are appropriately recorded
• Obtains signatures from parent and teacher
• Ensures that the diary is brought from home to school and back again.

Parents

• Check the diary and sign weekly
• Support the child with their homework and their reading
• Use the diary to send messages to the teacher.

Teachers

• Sign the diary weekly
• Use the diary to communicate with parents
• Build up a picture of a child’s reading habits.

If the homework and reading record is lost, we ask for a voluntary contribution of £3.00 to cover the cost of replacement.

The Homework and Reading Record enables a child’s weekly homework and reading to be viewed side by side. Children are required to read regularly as part of their homework - ideally with an adult - and parents and teachers review and sign the reading record pages of the homework diary on a weekly basis.
