HOMEWORK

At The Sydney Russell School, we believe that homework plays an important part in reinforcing learning.  It is expected that teachers will set homework regularly, as appropriate to their subject.  Students are expected to record their homework in their planners and we ask parents to check that students are recording and completing their homework.  Subject leaders will decide how often homework should be set in their subject and what students are expected to do.  Not all homework will require extended writing; students might be asked to read something, do some research, plan a task to be attempted in the next lesson, complete something started in a previous lesson or to catch up work that has been missed or not done well enough.
