Homework is an important part of learning and enables students to develop their independence and resilience across the curriculum.
We believe that homework is an essential part of every student’s education, helping to reinforce learning, develop independent study skills and prepare students for assessments and future success. Completing homework regularly builds personal responsibility, supports organisation and strengthens understanding of key concepts.
Research shows that regular homework has a positive impact on progress, particularly for secondary school students. Homework linked to classroom work is more effective, especially when students understand its purpose – whether to increase knowledge, develop fluency or apply learning in new contexts.
Homework tasks will vary depending on the subject and year group. These may include:

Teachers will monitor the setting and completion of homework regularly, providing feedback to help students improve and deepen their understanding. Parents are encouraged to use the school planner or contact the school if their child needs additional support with homework.
Homework isn’t just about completing tasks – it’s about building confidence, reinforcing learning and discovering what’s possible.
