HOME LEARNING

Home Learning at North Primary School

At North Primary School, we understand the importance of balance—children work hard during the school day, but they also need time to relax, spend with family and friends, and explore the outdoors. Home learning is designed to complement this balance, helping children continue to grow in manageable, meaningful ways.

​

The Importance of Retrieval Practice

Research shows that retrieval practice—recalling information learned in class—significantly boosts memory and learning. By practising "little and often" rather than cramming, children reinforce their learning and avoid forgetting it. 

​

Read, Read, Read

The most impactful thing children can do at home is read every day.

 

As Dr. Seuss wisely said,

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

 

IYour child will be given reading books from school, as well as borrowing books thye have chosen from the school library. Please support  your child and school by completing their reading record each day. 

Local families can borrow books that spark curiosity from Southall Library (112 The Green, UB2 4BQ).

Remember - Little and often is best—short, frequent activities are far more impactful than occasional long sessions. This approach supports learning without overwhelming children or taking away from family time and outdoor play.
