Overview
Homework is an integral
part of a child's education at Southwater Junior School. The homework
set in each year group is matched to the needs of the child. The
work is linked to curriculum areas and may support, reinforce
or introduce work that is to be followed up in the classroom.
Homework is a partnership between the child, the school and home.
This
routine will allow parents to know
- when your child
usually has homework
- how long the task
should be pursued
- when homework should
be handed in
