Homework Club
The school is offering parents the opportunity for your children to avail of a homework club similar to that being offered in many secondary schools at present. The idea behind the club is that children will be, (for a nominal fee), supervised after school for an hour to do their homework free from the distractions of home. The attached policy details how the club will operate. If you are interested in your child attending this session could you please contact the office.

- If the children finish their homework before the hour has elapsed, they will be encouraged to engage in work related to their school work such as reading, studying, art, early finishers sheets etc.
