Homework

Homework is an important part of the school’s approach to help young people work, think and learn on their own.  

The aims of homework

  • to develop the ability to work alone         
  • to encourage self-motivation and good organisational skills         
  • to develop the skills to research, organise and present work on a given theme or topic 
  • to allow the student to consolidate and extend the work done in class, or prepare for the following lesson         
  • to encourage the habit of reading          
  • to encourage the habit of regular work at home so that good routines are established in readiness for public examination preparation          
  • to challenge each individual student with appropriate tasks 

The student and homework

Maximum recommended homework times per night in the Lower and Junior Departments are: 

  • Reception 20 minutes             
  • Year 1 30 minutes            
  • Year 2 40 minutes                         
  • Year 3 40 minutes            
  • Year 4 50 minutes             
  • Year 5 1 hour

 It is the responsibility of the student:        

  • to spend the required amount of time doing homework        
  • to follow the homework timetable        
  • to record the homework accurately         
  • to ensure that the nature of the task is understood before leaving the lesson         
  • to endeavour to produce the best work        
  • to present the completed homework on time         
  • to realise that failure to do homework will result in sanctions, as set out in the School Rewards and Sanctions Policy.
