Primary School Survey 2024 (Page 1 of 11)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Your school is undertaking this survey over the next few weeks. The answers you give will help us find out what you think about your health and well-being and how safe you feel in your local area. Your answers will also help us see how well we are helping North Lincolnshire children to become and stay healthy and well.The answers you give will only be seen by the council’s research team and are anonymous, which means they won’t know who you are and they will not report any answers on their own. However, if they see anything which makes them concerned about a child’s safety, they may get in touch with your head teacher.If you have any worries that you want to talk about with an adult that you can’t talk about at home, please speak to a teacher or another adult in school. There are also links at the end of the survey to organisations that can help or give further information or ask a teacher for a list.Please take the survey seriously and answer the questions honestly. After the About You section you can skip any question you do not wish to answer. If at any point you do not wish to continue with the survey you can stop.Thank you

What is the Multiplication Tables Check

The Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) is a key stage 2 assessment to be taken by pupils at the end of year 4 (in June). The MTC's purpose is to ensure the times tables knowledge is at the expected level. In the 2022/2023 academic year, the multiplication tables check (MTC) is statutory for primary schools.

The Multiplication Times Tables Check is an online test where the pupils are asked 25 questions on times tables 2 to 12. For every question, you have 6 seconds to answer, and in between the questions, there is a 3-second rest. Questions about the 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12 times table come up more often. The questions are generated randomly based on the rules of the MTC.

How to prepare

A good way to prepare is to start early and build a daily routine practising the times tables. With regular practise you will learn all the questions and gain confidence. We suggest practising 10 to 15 minutes a day for optimal results.

A good start is first to make the five step plans for all the times tables to ensure you made all the questions and have good basic knowledge of the times tables. Then you make the MTC test sample on this page and see how you are doing and where to focus on. When you like to improve your speed or focus on a few times tables, you can use the speed test, diplomas, worksheets or play games like Blocky Multiplication and My Smart Horse to practise.

The year 4 Multiplication Tables Check trial run on this page will help one become more comfortable reading and answering on a screen. The Multiplication Tables Check trial results can be downloaded and printed at the end of the test.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Faith at Home is a national campaign that builds on the work of Growing Faith and Everyday Faith to support the faith development and pastoral care of children and young people.

It seeks to provide:

Experiences that inspire parents and families to grow in faith together in the ‘new daily normal’ of the home

Resources that equip children and young people to explore faith together and feel supported pastorally as part of school and church communities

Networks that connect school leaders, church leaders, chaplains to share great practise and build community together focused on the faith development of children and young people

Why the home?

Home is both a place and feeling. It is where we eat, where we sleep, where we find ourselves at the start and end of our day. Home is where we can feel the strongest sense of belonging, where we can feel connected to ‘our people’, where we can feel part of ‘our tribe’. It can also be a place of doubt, questions, loneliness and fear. While talking about being the vine, Jesus invites us to be at home in him, as he is at home in us (John 15:1-4 MSG). We are invited to imagine that we are sharing our everyday lives with each other and with God, intertwined by love as a community of growing faith.

During the summer holidays, young people may be spending more time at home than usual - with their families, and on devices. We have put together a list of resources that you can use with them, to explore online safety in a fun, engaging and educational way.

For you as a parent or carer

As your family may be spending more time at home and finding new ways to access education, stay in touch and have fun, here are some top tips to help you protect and support your child with their online lives.
1. Now is a great time to make a family agreement
A family agreement is a great way to start a conversation with your whole family about how you all use the internet, and how to behave positively online. Our family agreement provides a list of things to consider, and some examples to get you started. There's also an agreement template to help families set clear expectations for positive and safe internet use, and we have written a blog about how to put your family agreement in practice.
2. Have a conversation
Young people may already be thinking about new ways they can use the internet to socialise, play together or get creative, participate in sport, or help each other out, and they might want to use different online tools for the first time. To support you, we have also produced a range of conversation starters and there's advice in our pack for parents and carers.
3. Set up or review your parental controls and internet filters
Parental controls are designed to help protect children from inappropriate content online. These controls can be used in a number of ways, e.g. to help ensure that your children access only age-appropriate content; to set usage times; and to monitor activity. You can find out how to set these up or review current settings here.
4. Get creative
We would love to hear what families are doing right now to make the most of the online world! Have you found a great way to enable your children to socialise with their friends, or share home-learning activities, or have you used the family agreement to try something new as a family? Let us know by tweeting us @Childnet.

Resources for each age group

These resources are designed for you to use with your child, with some resources that young people can complete on their own.

Broken up into age-appropriate categories, we have put together a list of different resources you can use to delve into different online issues such as fake news, bullying, strangers online and more.
