Homework Policy
Homework is any work or activity which students are asked to do outside lesson time either on their own or with parents or carers. Homework should not prevent students from participating in an activity after school such as sport, music or clubs of any kind. Equally, students should plan such activities to allow time to complete homework.
The purpose of homework
· To encourage students to develop the confidence and self-discipline to work on their own, an essential skill for adult life.
· To consolidate and reinforce skills and understanding.
· To extend school learning, for example through additional reading.
· To enable students to devote time to particular demands such as project work.
· To support the home/school relationship.
The amount of homework
The school does not have a fixed homework timetable with time allocated for different subjects on different evenings. Students will need to learn to manage their time so that they do some homework each evening. As a general principle, teachers will not usually set substantial homework tasks to be completed for the next day, but will give students at least two days . The time devoted to homework should increase as the student progresses through the school.
Non-completion of homework
When homework has not been done, appropriate action will be taken by the teacher. This could mean the deduction of points for lateness or, could mean that the student will receive a zero for that particular assignment. Teachers have to consult the administration and parents when there is a persistent or worrying problem with homework. If a student is found to have plagiarized or cheated, the homework will be give a “0”.
Students’ responsibilities
Students should always carry their diaries with them and record all homework in it. Students need to accept that deadlines must be kept. If students are absent, they need to find out what work has been missed and catch up on it as soon as possible on their return. Being away on the day that homework is set is not an excuse for not doing it. Problems with homework should be resolved before the deadline. If necessary students should see the member of staff concerned for help. Students should take a pride in doing their best.
