Homework

Homework is an important part of learning and enables pupils to develop their independence and resilience across the curriculum.

We believe that homework is an essential part of every pupil's education, helping to reinforce learning, develop independent study skills and prepare pupils for assessments and future success. Completing homework regularly builds personal responsibility, supports organisation and strengthens understanding of key concepts.

Purpose of homework

Research shows that regular homework has a positive impact on progress. Homework linked to classroom work is more effective, especially when pupils understand its purpose – whether to increase knowledge, develop fluency or apply learning in new contexts.

Homework guidelines

The amount of homework will increase as pupils progress through the school:

Key Stage 1
Pupils will typically complete around 20–30 minutes of homework for core subjects, with additional time for reading each week.
Key Stage 2
Pupils can expect to complete approximately 30–45 minutes of homework per subject, reflecting the increased demands of the Key Stage 4 curriculum.
Monitoring and feedback

Teachers will monitor the setting and completion of homework regularly, providing feedback to help pupils 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.
