At St Nicholas CEVC Primary school, the purpose of homework is to;
- Consolidate learning - Revise, practise and memorise skills and learning from school
- Promote partnerships with parents - shared experience
- Give children an opportunity to apply learning in new contexts and to new problems
- Be meaningful without impacting on positive family experiences
- Promote independence and choice (good life skills)
- Homework should be at an appropriate level for the child
Homework is shared via class newsletters every week. |
