Help with homework

Unfortunately, we hear time and time again from parents and students alike that homework in real life is no joke! From taking too long to battles over quality, neatness and effort, we know that sometimes homework can turn into a nightmare.

The good news is that there are ways to help.

The first thing to do is to make yourself aware of the homework policy of your child’s school. You can read our homework policy here.

It’s also important to remember why we do homework. Some of the main benefits of homework are:

• It helps a child to become an independent learner
• It helps to practise skills and topics that your child has learned
• It can be used to finish off work started in school that day
• It helps the parent to keep track of the child’s progress
