Homework

Hornsea Burton and Skipsea primary federation (HBSFed) is a vibrant, enthusiastic, forward thinking, and safe learning environment in which pupils are given every opportunity to complete a fulfilling education. We believe that homework plays an important part in education and the benefit of doing homework must be instilled at an early age so that independent study can be achieved.

 We are also aware that pupils have opportunities and experiences outside of school that are equally important in developing and enriching their lives. We will give careful consideration to ensuring homework is well-balanced across the school.

Homework offers the opportunity to extend curriculum development, individual learning and promote parental involvement.

 Our main purpose of homework is to: provide an opportunity for children to consolidate, reinforce and build upon their learning in the classroom; develop children’s ability to plan and organise their work, developing self-discipline, routines, and study skills; enable parents and carers to be informed about learning happening in class and to participate in their child’s learning, providing a link between home and school.
