Homework (Prep) 1st to 5th Years This is considered to be an important part of the term-time routine and offers every pupil the opportunity to establish a good routine. Homework does vary in quantity, though, and does not always involve writing. Homework is explained during the lesson and a reminder is placed on the pupil portal - Everest, which can be viewed by parents and pupils. Pupils must aim to complete the homework on the correct night to avoid an accumulation of work later in the week. The weekends should be used to catch up on missed class work and missed homework due to any absences from school.
Homework for each year group may be grouped into one of the following three categories, or a combination of these: Preparation for the next lesson, which may
include reading; this may also include learning new material (from books, interactive software, video clips or the internet) and then presenting this in class.
Extension in which the work will provide more
difficult examples of ideas covered, or research that goes beyond the syllabus.
Consolidation which helps to reinforce what
has been studied in class through further exercises.
HOMEWORK ASSISTANCE
Departments provide clinics at different times during the week and pupils are welcome to attend to get help with work.
