Enhancing Home Learning at Rosebank: A Collaborative Approach

At Rosebank, we’re dedicated to improving home learning experiences for pupils and parents. Following feedback from senior pupils about homework, Mrs. Wells (PT) is leading a comprehensive review. Our focus is on creativity, active learning, and pupil choice, encouraging lifelong learning. We analyzed parent and pupil voices on homework balance and effectiveness. With a commitment to mental agility in numeracy, enjoyment in reading, and health and well-being activities, we aim to foster a positive environment. Communication and choice remain key in our evolving home learning strategies.
