Home Learning
At St. Joseph’s, we believe that learning continues beyond the classroom. Home learning provides an important opportunity for children to practise and consolidate the skills and knowledge they have developed in school, while also encouraging independence, confidence and a positive attitude towards learning. On this page, you will find useful information and resources to support your child’s learning at home. We greatly value the support of parents and carers and believe that, by working together, we can help every child to achieve their full potential.
