    Why is Homework Important?

    Homework plays a vital role in your child’s academic success.

    Our brains are designed to forgot the information which we don’t go back over. Homework is the bridge between ensuring your child doesn’t forget the content covered in class. The core homework which we set requires your child to revisit content which has been previously taught in lesson. We believe, and having engaged with academic research, that this approach is highly beneficial in building their long-term memory, and ensuring the content they cover is class is not forgotten.

    However, homework is also about organisation and developing good habits and routines, which we believe are vital skills to equip your child with.
