Opinions about homework is often a contentious issue within school as some parents state that they would like more work to be set whilst others require less or even no homework to be set at all.
What we are doing?
At the beginning of last term, the subject of homework, and our school’s expectations for this, were discussed during Parent Council Meetings. This resulted in the school’s homework policy being evaluated and updated to reflect our current practice. You will notice that weekly homework expectations are consistent across the school with reading/Bug Club, spelling and times tables/My Maths being compulsory. Alongside these tasks additional challenges, which relate to topic work or creativity, are set as optional homework tasks too.
We continue to review homework to ensure that the work set is age appropriate and reinforces areas that they are being tackled within the classroom. Homework is celebrated in class through sharing, display and by awarding a weekly certificate. Reading is also celebrated through reading races and display to highlight those children who record their reading at home. Certificates are also awarded when children successfully achieve a spelling or maths tables trial.
There is a Homework Club after school where support is provided so that children know how to complete their work. There is also opportunity to complete homework during the school day as children can access the computer suite at lunchtime.
We appreciate your views on how our school can improve even further as well as celebrating what we are doing well. We are overwhelmed by the recent responses.
