Homework
It is recognised that homework is an important ingredient in the educational experience provided for our pupils. It is widely accepted that continuous learning takes place within and out with the school. St. Augustine’s has a policy, which promotes homework, based on the pupil’s age, aptitude and ability given on a regular basis. Personalisation and choice is promoted and developed through Interdisciplinary Learning Projects that enable children to take their learning forward. Independently.
- There are a great variety of homework tasks. Here are a few examples: Practice/reinforcement – spelling strategies / number bonds
- Research / personal projects / extension of areas of interest.
- Novel studies / read to write activities.
- Interdisciplinary Tasks.
- Online digital platforms.

Parental cooperation
The support and co-operation of parents is expected and is invaluable.
The parent should sign homework, of whatever type.
It is a well recognised fact that children who do homework regularly perform better in school.
