Homework is seen as being of benefit in the education of your child.  When properly set and designed, within the capabilities of the child, it can offer opportunity to research new material outside the constraints of the school classroom.  It can allow the practice of skills learnt; be used to allow completion of work begun and work independent of school and teachers.  Parents are requested to support their children by signing and subscribing to a Home-School Agreement which outlines the role of homework in pupils' experience of school.   Homework may be set for classes, groups or individuals as the occasion arises and needs are perceived, as well as being a time to learn times tables and particular spellings on a regular basis.
We are mindful of many other activities which your child may be involved in and do not wish to overburden pupils. Throughout the whole school there is 'unofficial' homework in terms of talking to your children, sitting and sharing a reading book and drawing together all of which are important facets of your child's learning.
