Homework Completion Guidelines

Importance of Homework

 

The school considers that homework is very important:
 

  • It fosters independence, self-reliance, self-esteem, responsibility and life-long learning skills.
     

  • It provides the child with the opportunity to consolidate her learning and so is an aid to her progress
     

  • It provides families with useful insights into their children’s learning and needs
     

  • It gives pupils the opportunity to develop the practice of independent study and to form good habits for secondary school
     

  • It affords pupils the opportunity to use alternative materials and supports from those available in the classroom
     

  • Occasionally, at the discretion of the class teacher or the principal, children are given‘homework off’ as a treat or as acknowledgement of some achievement or special occasion.

Parents Role

  • Parents can help by making sure their child has a suitable time and place set aside for homework with no distractions.
     

  • Check your child’s homework is completed to the best of her ability.
     

  • If you feel your child is trying really hard, remember to praise their efforts, especially if it’s something they find difficult.
     

  • Parents can hear oral elements of homework such as maths tables.
     

  • If your child is experiencing difficulties completing her homework, please discuss this with your class teacher.
     

  • Check your child’s homework journal daily and fill in the time taken, along with a signature.
