HOMEWORK

“Homework provides a way of enabling parents to see the kind of work being tackled during the school day…encouraging a sense of partnership between the school and parents”. (HMIe)

It is a well recognised fact that children who do homework regularly perform better in school.

Homework should consolidate and/or reinforce the work of the class. It will vary in type and length depending on the task and will be of a variety of forms, for example, written, oral and practical.

Each class teacher will have their own pattern of homework distribution and collection which they will share with the children and with parents.
