Primary School Homework Guidelines

 

Content

 

Teachers will set pupil’s homework at a level appropriate to their age and understanding. Throughout the school we expect pupils to take home reading books and library books. We hope that parents will enjoy reading these books with their children.  As pupils progress through the school the amount of homework will increase. Below are the minimum expectations for each year group. Teachers may provide children with additional tasks to support their learning:

 

  • Year 1                   Reading books and spellings
  • Year 2                   As Year 1, plus one piece of Maths or English each week
  • Year 3                   As above, with one piece of Maths and English each week
  • Years 4 & 5         As above, plus one item of homework each week
  • Year 6                   As above plus two or three items of homework each week

 

Homework will be related to school work and should be achievable by the pupil without additional input from any adult. It should not be necessary for parents to teach their children in order for the homework to be achieved, but it is hoped that parents will take an interest in the tasks. These tasks will also inform parents as to the nature of the work going on in class and the achievement levels of their children.

 

Homework may, amongst other things, be reinforcement of objectives learned in class, it may be gathering information for using in a lesson, or it may be the completion of work unfinished in class. There should always be a purpose to homework and it is never given out as a ‘time-filler’.

 

Guidelines: Time

 

Homework tasks should not take an excessive amount of time. This varies in relation to the Pupil’s year group.  The following are the guidelines we suggest for each year group:

 

  • Years 1 & 2                         10 - 15 minutes per day
  • Years 3, 4 & 5                     20 - 30 minutes per day
  • Year 6                                   30 - 40 minutes per day
