Homework

Well-conceived and clearly focussed homework can be very beneficial in aiding students’ learning.  Where homework is an integral part of each student’s curriculum, it adds a wide dimension to their studies and offers them opportunities to develop a broader range of skills.

Homework is set for a variety of reasons, the principal ones being:

*          to encourage students in independent study

*          to aid students in developing research skills

*          to develop self discipline

*          to focus on organisational skills

*          to consolidate skills learned in the classroom

*          to allow students to extend their interest in classwork

*          to involve parents and other adults in students’ work
