How Parents Can Support Learning at Home

At Bexley Junior School, we see parents as partners in their child’s educational journey. Learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door — it continues at home through daily interactions, encouragement, and curiosity. When parents are engaged, children are more motivated, responsible, and confident in their schoolwork.

Simple, consistent habits can make a lasting difference. Reading together for just 15 minutes a day, helping with homework, or discussing classroom topics strengthens your child’s understanding and enthusiasm for learning. Our teachers provide guidance on how to extend classroom lessons at home, making education both fun and meaningful.

Parental support also reinforces our school’s values — honesty, commitment, respect, and resilience. Children who experience these values at home and school build stronger emotional and academic foundations.

By maintaining open communication between home and school, parents help create a united support system that empowers every child to reach their potential. Together, we can ensure that every learner at Bexley Junior School continues to Aspire, Achieve and Excel in all areas of life.
