HOMEWORK

Learning is not confined to the classroom and studying at home can help encourage a habit of lasting benefit to pupils. Homework provides pupils with opportunities to develop further interests in particular subjects and may take a variety of forms: project work; completion/consolidation of class work; home reading; formal written exercises; practical/physical exercises; preparation for class talks; redrafting written work; researching; reviewing notes; watching and reporting relevant television programmes.

Parental interest in homework is encouraged. In particular, parents can help by ensuring that: time is set each evening for homework; where possible, a quiet area is identified; checking homework diaries issued by the school; checking work is done to the highest possible standard. In school we will emphasise the importance of homework and ensure that it is worthwhile and relevant. Success in external exams is built on work done in school and at home and your support in ensuring that homework is done on time and to the best of the child's ability, is essential in achieving that success.
