4. The problem!

5. Home learning was becoming a time consuming nightmare!
• Time to create suitable learning activities was ever-increasing
• Marking (particularly in KS2) was time consuming
• Pupils didn’t always buy in and complete tasks set
• Shared electronically yet various copies needed printing
• All in all, a stressful process for all those involved

6. What we wanted:
• A quick, easy method to set homework
• Ability to differentiate to include all needs - include those working at
a mastery level and those requiring additional support
• Marking to be as time efficient - allowing staff to focus on gap
analysis and not hours of ticking
• A system that encourages (and possibly rewards children) for
completing
• Preferably a non-paper system to avoid copious amounts of printing

7. Our SIP targets which FrogPlay contributes towards
• Embedding new technology across the school
• Pupils to take more independence in their work
• Diagnostic marking to be used to inform future teaching and allow
children to make more than expected progress

10. Consistency across the school
• (Useful for families with siblings)
• All home learning is set via Frog - mostly FrogPlay but some text
uploads on sites
• Everyone issues it on a Friday and expects it in by the following Tues
• Generally, same expectations for amount of work expected and
time spent completing task(s)
