Homework Timetable 2008 – 2009
‘A good, well-managed homework programme helps children and young people to develop the skills and attitudes they will need for successful lifelong learning. Homework also supports the development of independent learning skills and provides parents with an opportunity to take part in their children’s education.’ (DCSF 2007).
The average amount of time which should be spent on homework by pupils is as follows:
Year 7 & 8 Approx. 1hr per day (approx. 5hrs per week
Year 9 Approx. 11/2 hrs per day (approx. 71/2 per week)
Year 10 & 11 Approx. 2hrs per day (approx.10hrs per week)
Homework will be report upon in the half-termly and full-termly reports to parents
Effective homework
Learning at home is an essential part of good education. Regular homework is important as it gives pupils the opportunity to practice at home the tasks covered in class, and helps the pupils work towards improving important skills. It also helps children and young people to become confident and independent in their learning, which will help throughout their time at school and in adult life.
Implementation
- The school will ensure that homework is an integral part of the curriculum and is planned and prepared alongside all other programmes of learning.
- Pupils will record and ensure their understanding of the homework tasks and demonstrate a commitment to spending an allocated time doing the tasks set and handing the work back on time.
- Parents and carers are encouraged to monitor homework and inform the school if an issue arises. If homework is not being set in a particular subject parents are asked to contact the appropriate Subject Leader. If the problem still persist, parents are asked to contact the appropriate Year Leader in the first instance and then, if necessary, the appropriate Key Stage Deputy Head Teacher (KS3 & KS4).
