Homework Tips
At Fitzharrys school, we value the importance of homework in developing students' independence, research skills, and learning. Research suggests that meaningful homework supports the acceleration of progress in students of secondary school age. We aim, through homework, to promote a culture of scholarship, setting purposeful homework for revision, preparation, and consolidation.
Top Homework Tips for Students
- Undertake your work in a quiet, homework-friendly area with no distractions
- Get into a routine and schedule regular study time
- Try to do your homework the night it is set so that it doesn’t pile up
- Break down large assignments into manageable chunks
- Always try your best
Teachers will put instructions and links for tasks on Epraise. If a student finishes work quickly, they should make sure they have completed work to the best of their ability and inform their teacher so that they can provide extra challenge. If a student finds the work too challenging, they should try their best for the allotted time and let their teacher know their concerns in the next lesson.
