​Homework can play a positive role in raising a child’s level of attainment. We also acknowledge the important role of play and free time in a child’s growth and development. While homework is important, it should not prevent children from taking part in the wide range of out-of-school clubs and organisations that play an important part in the lives of many children. We are well aware that children spend more time at home than at school, and we believe they develop their skills, interests and talents to the full only when parents encourage them to make maximum use of the experiences and opportunities that are available outside of school. 
 
Aims and objectives

The aims and objectives of homework are:
•    to enable pupils to make maximum progress in their academic and social development;
•    to help pupils develop the skills of an independent learner;
•    to promote a partnership between home and school in supporting each child’s learning;
•    to enable key aspects of the curriculum to be covered in sufficient depth;
•    to consolidate and reinforce learning done in school and to allow children to practice skills taught in lessons;
•    to help children develop good work habits for the future.
