Homework
Homework develops positive study habits and independent learning. Research shows that homework has a positive impact on progress. Homework has an impact by enabling pupils to undertake independent learning to practice and consolidate skills, conduct in depth inquiry, prepare for lessons or revise for exams. In addition, homework gives your parents a chance to see what is being studied in school and teaches you how to take responsibility for your part in the educational process.
