The Benefits of Homework – Supporting Learning Beyond the Classroom

Homework plays a vital role in reinforcing learning, helping children develop independence, responsibility, and good study habits. It provides opportunities to revisit and practise key skills, deepening understanding and boosting confidence.

By extending learning beyond the classroom, homework encourages children to take ownership of their progress, improving time management and problem-solving abilities. It also strengthens the partnership between school and home, allowing parents to engage with their child's education.

When well-structured and purposeful, homework supports academic success, nurtures curiosity, and prepares pupils for future learning challenges
