Homework

Homework is set regularly in most subjects and it will increase in quantity as the students progress through the school. At the start of the school year, each student will be given a homework diary in which all homework should be recorded. Parents should check and sign the diary at regular intervals to see that homework is being recorded and done.

Homework may take the form of written work, reading or research. If homework is finished early, extra reading is always beneficial. Many teachers allow more than one evening for the completion of homework, to give the students some flexibility in the organisation of their home study time. This should help to prevent too many subjects piling up on one particular evening. It is very helpful, particularly with younger students, if parents set aside an hour each evening when their child can sit in a quiet place to do homework and read. Parental interest and help at this stage can help a child enormously in organisation and can foster good habits in later school years.
