Cale Green Primary SchoolHomework
We encourage the children to develop the practice of independent study at home. A wide variety of work across the curriculum is undertaken, with particular emphasis on the core subjects. Reading, spelling and the learning of tables are regular types of homework. The children are also sometimes set longer research based tasks to be completed during the holidays. Homework can often be completed on the Internet or during lunchtime at school.
Homework also allows for the application of knowledge acquired in the classroom. It can also involve parents (and other adults) in the children’s work. For older children it prepares them to become accustomed to the regular and varied assignments they will be required to complete when at high school.
Our approach to homework was revised as a result of consultation with parents and children.
The school operates a daily Homework Club for those children who have not completed their tasks at home as well as providing on-line learning resources which the children can also access at home. The children are issued with passwords for these activities. The most popular are:
