Home learning
Setting homework
Evidence shows that the quality of homework set by a school is more important that the quantity. Indeed, it is likely that the impact of homework on learning and progress reduces as the amount of time young people spend on it increases.
To be effective, homework set by teacher must related to the learning undertaken in school. Therefore teachers will set homework only when it is integral to learning (and never for the sake of it). Homework might take the following forms:
- Practise
- Preparation
- Extension
Sometimes, parents and carers ask the school for daily homework tasks to help keep children in good learning routines at home. Generally, we do not set these tasks however there is a wealth of digital and printed solutions available for parents and carers. These are given below.
We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.
