Year 6 Parents Guide 2024-25

12 How your child’s planner can support their organisation A student planner will be given to your child on their first day at KJS. It is a form of diary which includes your child’s individual timetable and where they should record any homework set and the deadlines for it to be completed. It is incumbent upon your child to ask you to sign their planner on a weekly basis. Your child’s form tutor then has confirmation that you are aware of what is being expected of your child academically and whether your child is meeting the school’s values It is important to establish good practice in organising homework and packing bags with the right books and equipment for the next day. You can help your child by referring to the planner, which for ease of use, is segmented into weeks and terms.
