Homework is a key aspect of a pupil’s learning experiences and an integral part of teaching, learning and assessment procedures. It refers to learning which is central to curriculum objectives and which supports and complements the work pupils do in school but which takes place beyond formal classroom teaching and which is primarily the responsibility of the learner him/herself. It may be understood in the widest sense as a pupil’s own learning.

In setting appropriate tasks Each pupil is given a Student in each subject the following Planner in September which overall maximum total times for provides basic information about homework on any one night are school routines and in which observed: - details of homework set can be recorded.
