Homework

Homework is considered to be a valuable element of the learning process.  At SS. John and Monica’s school, we believe that homework should be set:
•    to involve parents in their children’s learning;
•    to help parents keep abreast of what their child can and cannot do;
•    to take advantage of the home context to apply learning;
•    to encourage children to talk about their work to their parents and explain what they are doing and how;
•    to extend the time for learning, thus enabling children to practise and consolidate their skills and knowledge           and strategies;
•    to prepare children for secondary school experiences of homework;
•    to view learning as a lifelong process and not just restricted to school hours.

The schools' agreed practice for homework is that it is set on a regular basis for all years, in line with our homework policy within our Teaching and Learning Policy.
