The school sees a value in children engaging in homework as a means of revising work done, in discovering information unavailable in school, in involving parents positively in their children�s studies
and in the development of good work habits.� Against this we must balance each child�s need for recreation and the development of private interests and hobbies and so the amount of homework should not exceed that which can be done in 30 minutes at Key Stage 1 45 minutes at Key Stage 2 assuming proper application and no distractions. |

Homework |
We would request that parents when signing the homework should write �Help needed� if they have given a lot of assistance with homework. In this way parents can alert the teacher to their child�s needs. Please note: The setting of homework may be relaxed for special occasions and close to holidays. Children in years 6 and 7 who opt to do the transfer procedure tests will receive homework at weekends. Children who are receiving additional teaching from the special needs teacher will have a small amount of homework at weekends. |
Homework will be given each day from Monday to Thursday and will normally consist of reading and the learning of spelling and number facts plus a short piece of written work for the older children. Homework assignments are recorded each day in your child's homework diary Parents are required to sign each child�s work when it has been completed to a satisfactory standard.� Part of the value of homework is the individual attention a child receives from his/her parent, so help from parents is encouraged. |
