Griffin Park Primary School
Useful Information
Things to remember:
On Fridays, homework is assigned, and it has to be finished by the following Thursday. Homework is designed to be a reflection of the learning that they have done in school that week. This should mean that children are able to do their homework independently.
It is crucial that children read frequently and that they enjoy the books they read. Griffin Park actively fosters a love of reading, and we encourage parents to do the same by making sure your child reads and tracks their progress in their reading record on a regular basis (at least four times per week!).
Additionally, every Friday, spellings are sent home for learning. The following Friday is the designated test day. Our spellings are based on a list of Statutory Spellings Years 5 and 6 from the National Curriculum that kids should be able to spell by the time they finish primary school.
P.E. is every Thursday and Friday. From September 2024 children must wear their normal school uniform on P.E days. Children need to bring their P.E kit into school and will get changed before their lesson.
Book bags and reading books should be brought into school every day.
