We give homework in order to:
- promote self reliance, self discipline and confidence.
- promote independent learning by encouraging the child to take responsibility for their personal progress.
- encourage parents, carers and the school to work in partnership for the benefit of the child.
- encourage children to realise that learning takes place outside the class.
