Help with homework

Homework Policy

Why do we have homework?  At Downs Way we believe that homework:

• Enhances liaison between home and school.
• Reinforces skills taught in the classroom
• Extends the range of the children's interest and ability
• Gives the children experience in planning their work time, in meeting deadlines and in working independently
• Prepares the children for their transfer to the next key stage by helping them acquire the habit of homework

A homework timetable for your child will be made clear by their class teachers in the school year. 

Please speak to your child's class teacher if you have any concerns over homework set.
