At Newarthill Primary School we believe the purpose of homework is:
- to reinforce and consolidate learning which has taken place in class
- to practise acquired skills and develop new skills
- to allow parents to gain an understanding of what children are learning in school
- to provide opportunities for parents and children to work together
- to encourage dialogue about learning
- to encourage your child to be more responsible for his/her learning and progress
Homework will usually be issued termly. All class teachers issue guidance to support parents/carers with homework.
If you have a query about homework, parents/carers are asked, in the first instance, to contact their child’s class teacher who will aim to support with any questions or difficulties.
We believe in treating each child as an individual, for example, some children may benefit from reduced homework expectations. We are happy to work with families to aim to ensure homework is a positive experience for all.
