We hope that our approach to homework will:
• help develop the partnership between school and parents
• provide opportunities for skills and learning to be consolidated and reinforced, in particular in literacy and numeracy
• lead children to use other resources for learning ( at home, in the community and in libraries)
• encourage children to extend the work they do at school, in particular through additional reading
• encourage children to develop the confidence and self discipline to study on their own
• help prepare children for the requirements of secondary school.
Class Teachers will inform parents of the homework timetable at ehe beginning of each term. If a child was unable to complete the work set and in the abence of a note from home, time will be found during the day for the work to be completed. Parents are asked to speak with the class teacher if a problem exists.
