GUIDELINES FOR PUPILS
1. Homework is set in order to ensure that pupils can succeed in school. Lesson time is insufficient and so homework must be done to ensure this success.
2. Completing homework is an important indicator – it shows that you can work independently and have organisational skills. Pupils that don’t do their homework do not learn to be independent workers and do not learn these organisational skills.
3. All homework must be recorded in your Llyfr Cyswllt.
4. Homework should be completed and presented on the correct date.
5. All homework should be complete and should be presented neatly.
6. All work, be it learning, research, reading or observing, should be done correctly and thoroughly.
7. Every effort should be made to make sure that homework tasks include the correct terminology and spellings, i.e. you should use a dictionary whilst doing your homework.
GUIDELINES FOR PARENTS
1. Children should be encouraged to do their homework regularly.
2. The Llyfr Cyswllt should be referred to often to see if homework has been set, and to see if teachers have made any comments. We ask that you sign the Llyfr Cyswllt weekly. If you have any queries, we ask that you note your concerns in the Llyfr Cyswllt – form teachers read the Llyfr Cyswllt regularly.
3. A suitable area for each child to work is essential – desk, chair, light, dictionary and silence.
4. The School Handbook has recommendations for length of homework for different year groups. We ask that you encourage your child to work for regular intervals in order to ensure progress. If there is no obvious homework, then you are asked to encourage your child to read or revise.
5. You are very welcome to discuss homework with your child; however, we ask that parents remember that the homework is work for the child to complete.
