Parent and carer information

At Starbeck Primary Academy we highly value the relationship between school and parents/carers. We understand how important it is in supporting your child’s education and personal development. We strive to make sure you have all the information you need about our school and your child’s experience here.

Please use the menu on the right to find what you’re looking for, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Home Learning

It is important for children to read at home daily and taking reading books home is encouraged. Children also benefit from having other reading materials at home so that they can practise and extend their reading skills.

Parents/carers should also support their children in learning number bonds to 20 and times tables by heart.

Below is a guide of the type of activities which make up home learning tasks. Class teachers send more details to parents/carers at the start of each year.

• Sharing reading scheme or other books
• Practising phonics and tricky words
• Learning spellings
• Practising times tables
• Completing an activity in their Learning Journal, for example finding as much out as they can about the Tudors
• Completing a task for a competition.
