Homework is a key part of making learners more proactive and self-sufficient in assessing and controlling their own learning. It is intended to increase learners’ autonomy and organisational skills.

Parents and carers can play a key part in homework.

Frequency of homework

• KS2 English, Mathematics and spelling every week
