We share books between school and home from the moment children join Stakesby until the moment they leave. In Nursery, we have the 'Lending Library'. Your child will bring home a book to share and a book in which to record your experience of the book. In Reception - Year 6, pupils are set short homework tasks. These consist of reading their reading book 4 x per week for around 5-10 minutes. There are 6 spellings to practise weekly, and for pupils in Years 1 - 6, a maths homework task is set via Sumdog. Pupils in Reception will also bring home a guided handwriting book to practise their letter formation in the same way they do at school.

A recent study by the NHS indicated that as many as 4 children in a class of 30 could be living with serious emotional disorders. Worryingly, 80% of parents felt that they aren't as equipped to deal with mental health issues as they would like to be. In response to this, Action For Children and The Children's Society have collaborated to produce a guide to help families understand and offer thorough support if their children experience anxiety.
