Supporting Learning Beyond the Classroom.

Working in Partnership with Parents and Families

Rationale
At Fulwood and Cadley Primary School, we believe that homework not only reinforces the learning that has taken place within the classroom, but also helps our pupils to develop the skills and attitudes that are needed for successful life-long learning. We care deeply about the mental health and well-being of our pupils. Therefore, we aim to provide homework that is manageable, effective and positively reinforces pupils’ learning experiences whilst also supporting our pupils’ hobbies and interests outside of school.

Why is homework important?
 It raises your child’s overall academic achievement.
 It helps promote and develop the skills of an independent learner.
 It allows children to consolidate and reinforce the learning done in school, allowing children to practice skills taught in lessons.
 It helps to inform you about your child’s school work and allows you the opportunity to support this work.
 It is a valuable life skill and develops good work habits for the future.
 It prepares children for their next phase of educational development.
