CROESYCEILIOG SCHOOL HOMEWORK

What is Homework?

Homework is the work set regularly by teachers for your child to complete outside the timetabled curriculum. Not all homework can be done at home; for some children who find it difficult to work at home, or for some tasks that require particular resources that are more readily available in school, it is necessary or desirable for homework tasks to be completed in school.

The aims of Homework in Years 7 to 9

1. To enable your child to develop the independent study skills needed to help them to become effective independent and self-directed learners. These include the skills associated with personal organisation, research, planning, time-management, self-discipline and meeting deadlines

2. To give your child the opportunity to take responsibility for their own learning3. To enable parents to engage effectively in support of their child’s learning4. To enable your child to consolidate and extend work covered in class5. To enable your child to access resources not available in the classroom or in school

How much Homework will your child be set and by which subjects?

Families are advised, wherever possible, to take family holidays during the school holidays. Your child will therefore not normally be set Homework to complete during school holiday time. However, your child may need to complete revision for tests and examinations during some of their school holidays, as advised by their teachers. The table below sets out (for each of Years 7 to 9) the recommended time that your child should spend on homework and also clarifies which subjects will be setting Homework for your child to complete

Subjects Recommended time per 2 week cycle (Hours)Years 7, 8 & 9

English 1.5Maths 1.5Science 1.5Geography 0.5History 0.5Religious Studies (RS) 0.5MFL French 0.5MFL Spanish 0.5Welsh 0.5Art 0.5Design Technology 0.5Total per cycle 8.5ICT, PE, Music, Drama and PSE do not normally set written homework in Years 7,8 & 9

What sort of tasks will your child be expected to complete?

Examples of tasks that your child’s teachers might set include:

Independent Learning Projects (ILPs) lasting several weeks Consolidation of work completed in class Writing up/recording activities completed in class Further practice of skills/techniques covered in class – learning by doing/repeating Memorising vocabulary for Modern Foreign Languages and Welsh Memorising spellings Research

CROESYCEILIOG SCHOOL HOMEWORK

Reading Drawing/making Using ICT where there is an outcome for the teacher to mark

Responsibilities

1. The role of your child To listen carefully to homework instructions in class To copy instructions relating to homework tasks and deadline dates into their planner To ensure that homework is completed and handed in by the deadline To attempt all homework and try their best To inform their class teacher before the deadline of any difficulties

2. The role of parents/carers You have the key role in ensuring that homework is completed on time and to a good standard. It is first and foremost the responsibility of parents to ensure that their child completes all Homework set by the deadlines and to the best of their ability. You can best support your child in relation to homework by: Providing a table and chair in a quiet space where your child can work effectively. Helping your child (without doing it for them) to plan their private study time to ensure that the

workload resulting from Homework is spread across time so that overloading on certain days is avoided. This is an important skill for your child to develop.

Ensuring that outside clubs/interest/activities do not have a negative effect on the quality of homework produced by your child, or put your child under unnecessary pressure. Homework should come first.

Ensuring that your child completes all their homework and hands it in by the deadline. Checking the time spent by your child on individual homework activities. Checking the presentation and content of all homework being returned to school and helping

(without doing it for them) your child to improve their work. Signing your child’s planner each week. Contacting the school in relation to any problems relating to Homework. For general Homework

issues you should contact your child’s Head of Year. For subject specific Homework issues, you should contact the person named at the bottom of the relevant subject’s page in this Guide.

Ensuring that your child promptly copies up and completes all work missed due to absence.

3. The role of the subject teacher To set your child homework in-line with the plan detailed on their subjects page within this Guide To set your child a clear deadline for each homework task and issue reminders To ensure that your child understands what they need to do to complete their homework successfully To provide help and support to your child To mark and return all homework promptly To communicate any problems in relation to homework, particularly the missing of deadlines,

promptly to you via your child’s planner To evaluate and grade your child’s ‘Attitude to Homework’ for inclusion in your child’s Progress

Checks (twice a year) and Profile Report (once a year)

In addition to Homework set by teachers, what other work should your child be completing at home?

CROESYCEILIOG SCHOOL HOMEWORK

Homework set by teachers is not the only study that your child should be completing at home. In addition, your child should also be regularly spending some time on self-directed independent study, which should include: Copying up and completing work missed due to absence. General reading for pleasure to develop literacy skills and specific subject related reading to develop

interest and knowledge. Reading newspapers and watching news, current affairs and documentary type programmes. Sorting and organising their files and folders of work. Reviewing and learning lesson notes to reduce dependency on last minute revision prior to tests and

exams. Retention of knowledge and understanding is more effective if your child learns their notes regularly as they go along throughout the year, rather than leaving this task until the period just prior to a test or exam.

Revision activities in preparation for tests and examinations. Teachers will advise your child on how to revise effectively at home and provide revision materials as appropriate. Your child will need to spend some time undertaking revision activities at home, particularly in the period prior to tests and examinations. Revision at home of this type would not normally be classed as Homework (as defined at the start of this guide)

Homework Policy

The School has adopted a Homework Policy, which is available on the School Website or via request directly from the school.

Individual Subject Homework Plans

Each subject has an individual Homework Plan in the following section, which we hope that parents will find helpful.
