Supporting my child’s progress

Many resources that are used in school are published on the following website and align very closely to the Chilmington Green School curriculum. Resources can be found at: https://curriculum.unitedlearning.org.uk/ Students will be able to login using their school username (forename.surname@chilmingtongreenschool.org.uk) and their normal school password. These resources include pre-recorded video lessons that students can use to revise chosen topics for most subjects.

Students have access to Sparx Maths which contains tutorials and quizzes on all topics they will learn throughout the year and is linked to the curriculum. This means that any questions that appear on their Sparx for that week have already been studied in class. These questions adapt to your child’s ability level over time to ensure they have the appropriate level of challenge. Usernames and passwords were shared at the beginning of the school year.

As well as homework, it is possible for students to use the website to review any topic that they have studied previously. To do this, you can use the search bar to type in a topic or click “choose lesson” at the top left of the page to use the menu system. There are detailed video tutorials available for each mathematics topic as well as a quiz to practice further. It is also possible to use the website to revise using two options under the “Revise” tab at the top right of the webpage. “Memri” is best done regularly as it gives five questions studied in the past in order to try and commit the knowledge to long-term memory over time. “Fix-Up-5” gives students five questions they have answered incorrectly in the past in order to try and improve these further.

Students have access to Sparx Reader and will be set 1 hour of reading per week. The reading will adapt to your child’s ability level over time to ensure they have the appropriate level of challenge. Students should prioritise the reading of the book over the literacy games but both are beneficial. Usernames and passwords were shared at the beginning of the school year.
