Hady School Homework Policy

Why Is Homework Important?

“Homework is an important extension of classroom learning. It helps to


cement the ideas that children learn at school, helping things sink in
further and expanding their knowledge.

The complexity and amount of homework that needs to be carried out


obviously increases considerably as children progress through school.
The amount of homework given to primary aged children varies, but they
are likely to get some on a regular basis. Getting used to doing
homework from an early age will definitely be an advantage, as children
are more likely to continue doing so as they progress through their
school years.” Early Childhood Education Website

Hady Primary School is committed to providing the best possible quality of


education to all learners. To help achieve this commitment, our homework system
is designed to ensure that parents and carers can support children’s learning at
home.

Aim of this Policy:


To raise standards by helping, parents and carers to support children’s
learning at home more effectively.
Objectives:
 To ensure that parents/carer know what children are learning at school.
 To provide parents/carers with advice on how to support their children at
home.
 To ensure every child has homework that will consolidate their school
learning.
To ensure that every child has access to school reading books at home.
Roles and Responsibilities
Class/Target Group Teachers

The role of the teachers is to ensure that every child has homework set for them
each week. Children should be set homework each week for literacy and maths.
The homework must be linked to what children are learning and/or consolidating
what they have done or investigating/information gathering about what they are
going to learn. Homework must be personalised and should be an activity that the
child can do at home independently but with adult support if it is available.

The KS1 children record their homework in their homework book following the
usual school presentation expectations. Teachers should stick the objective and
the task in the homework book for the children.

Homework Charts
When a child returns their homework, they are monitored on the assertive mentoring
chart. It is the teacher’s responsibility to ensure that children are regularly returning
homework to an acceptable standard.

Home Reading Books


In addition to the piece of literacy and maths homework, every child should have a
home reading book which is changed regularly. Class teacher’s and TAs are responsible
for giving out home reading books during the day. The books must be at the level the
child is working at so that they can read it independently at home. The Literacy
Coordinator will identify home reading books for every class and guided reading books
should not be sent home.
Parents
Parents are offered lots of opportunities to improve the way they support their children
at home.
 At parents evenings, teachers advise parents on how they can support their
children at home
 Pupils have individual literacy and maths targets which they can share with their
parents.
 Pupils are given home reading books at their reading level to support their
reading at home.

In addition to this, each half term the parents are sent an overview of what their
children are learning. The overview describes what the children are learning
across all subjects including literacy and maths. It also suggests activities and
ways in which they could enhance their children’s learning out of school.

Each term parents are sent an assertive mentoring form showing progress and
attainment. Assertive mentoring meetings are also carried out with child and
parent.

Pupil Absence
If a pupil is absent on the day that homework is given out, the teacher should
ensure that the child receives the work. Either by giving it to a friend/relative to
pass on or by giving it to the pupil when they return to school.
If a child is off school long term, the teacher will liaise with the parent to ensure
that work is sent home regularly for the child.

Holiday Homework
Homework is set during school holidays when appropriate. Parents are also
expected to continue to read at home with their children.

Book Bags
Every child is encouraged to buy a book bag from the school office.
