It is the school’s policy that homework is set for all its students through the subject departments. We believe that if properly planned and implemented it can play a valuable role in the education of all children. It has value in providing for the student an opportunity to practice independently skills learnt in the classroom; it allows more time for the teacher to conduct those activities in class which need his/her presence; habits of independent study can be encouraged and developed, work which is not substantially complete can be finished, and parents/carers can be involved and interested in what the child brings home from school.
We emphasize, therefore, the importance of doing homework well. The need to establish a regular homework routine, to do the work early in the evening rather than later, and in a quiet room, are practices we also regard as essential.
