Timetable
Our timetable can be downloaded below. Here, parents and pupils have the opportunity to view the class schedule to see the day-to-day routine including the range of curriculum that is covered. We have found that children with SEND have responded well to visually seeing the structure of the day ahead.

At Holy Trinity C of E Nursery and Primary School, we utilise the Cornerstones scheme of work. Parents will receive a Curriculum Booklet and Knowledge Organiser at the start of each term informing them about what the children will be learning. This will also be available below to download.

Home Learning
Year 5 are expected to read at home daily, this should be recorded in their reading record book. The more books read the more Accelerated Reader quizzes can be completed at school. Each quiz carries a number of points that increase in value when 60% or more questions are answered correctly. 5 points earn a certificate.
Our basic knowledge will focus on doubling and halving, and our weekly spellings. Maths work is stuck into homework books so that it can be continued at home, or if it is a game we have been playing parents can play the maths game at home as well. Maths homework is set using Freckle online and changes each Friday. Please ask for a new login if it has got lost.
Paper-based homework is given out in the form of spelling every Friday afternoon on a look, cover, say, write sheet for children to learn at home and a comprehension exercise each Monday.
