Homework

Homework refers to tasks given to pupils by their teachers to be completed outside of usual lessons. Research shows that homework has a positive impact on average + 5 months gained progress, particularly with pupils in secondary schools (Education Endowment Foundation). 

There are a number of reasons why we are students to complete homework: 

Reinforces Learning: Homework helps reinforce what has been taught in class. It gives students the opportunity to practice skills, review material, and solidify concepts outside of the classroom setting.

Improves Time Management: By assigning homework, students learn how to manage their time effectively. They become better at prioritizing tasks, setting schedules, and meeting deadlines.

Promotes Independent Learning: Homework encourages self-study and independent problem-solving, which can foster a sense of responsibility and autonomy in students.

Enhances Learning Outcomes: Studies suggest that homework can positively affect academic achievement, particularly when assignments are meaningful and students are given adequate time to complete them.

Strengthens Parental Involvement: Homework offers parents a chance to be involved in their child's education by providing insight into what their child is learning and the challenges they face.
