“Homework is not an optional extra, but an essential part of a good education.”
-1999 White Paper, Excellence in Schools
Tasks set will fall into the following categories:
- preparatory work for upcoming and new topics
- extension work that builds on prior knowledge gained within the classroom
- revision skills and ‘mastery’ of learning
- provide opportunities for students to be independent
- extended tasks that require students to demonstrate time-management and other organisational skills
Homework and home-learning tasks are not tasks that:
- have no relevance to learning within the classroom
- provide no value to the curriculum
- are set for the sake of setting homework
