Extended Learning at Prep

Through parental and pupil surveys, Truro School Prep has carefully constructed a homework programme that supports learning whilst providing ample time for cross-curricular clubs and downtime. The amount of time spent on homework varies by year group, with the expectation that our Year 6 pupils should spend no longer than 30 minutes on a weekday completing their homework assignments, split across maths, English, humanities and science.

There is also an opportunity for more open-ended, topic-based projects through the ‘Bigger Picture’ initiative which challenges critical thinking and creative responses. This half term, the Bigger Picture will be themed to coincide with this year’s international European Day of Languages.
