Homework

We believe that homework is an important part of students’ learning.

To practise or reinforce work covered in class, particularly in the core skills of reading, spelling, maths and writing.
To develop the partnership between home and school for supporting students’ learning.
To encourage students to be taking more responsibility for their own learning as they progress through the school.

Ensure that teachers, parents/carers and students have a clear understanding regarding expectations for homework.
Ensure that teachers, parents and students are fully aware of the role they play with regard to home work.
Ensure a consistent approach to home work throughout school.
Use home work to help raise standards of attainment.
Encourage pupils and parents to share and enjoy learning experiences at home.
Encourage students to develop the responsibility, confidence and self-discipline needed to study independently.
Help prepare students for making the transition to secondary school.
