Homework Consultation
At our Parents Night in October, we asked parents/carers for their views on Homework – and the comments confirmed our thoughts that there is a very wide range of opinions on the benefits and necessity of homework coming home from school.Â
As a staff we value your input and will take all of your suggestions and comments into consideration as we continue to review our homework policy and provision. We will, as always, update you with any changes.
Please have a read through the collated comments, and thanks to everyone who contributed their thoughts. Mrs GovansÂ

Rights Respecting School @ September Home Circles
In our September Home Circles we highlighted Article 12 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child which states that every child has the right to express their views, feelings and wishes in all matters affecting them, and to have their views considered and taken seriously. This right applies at all times: during immigration proceedings, housing decisions or the child’s day to day home life.Â
Our questions were –
When is your opinion listened to in Catrine PS? When is your voice heard?
Why is it important that your opinion is listened to? Why should your voice be heard?
Have a read through our answers from our Home Circles jotters …
Rights Respecting School @ November Home Circles

Who is involved in making decisions which affect you in school and at home?
Why are these people involved in making decisions which affect you?
