At Flash Ley, homework is valued as an opportunity for children, parents and teachers to build a shared responsibility for learning.

We believe that homework can:

• Consolidate, reinforce and extend skills and understanding in all subjects.
• Provide opportunities for parents and children to work together.
• Allow parents to gain an understanding of what children are learning in school.
• Allow children to progress towards becoming more independent learners, encouraging them to develop resilience and self-discipline needed to study on their own.
• Exploit resources for learning that may not be available in school.

At Flash Ley we do not give out weekly tasks but focus on reading, spellings/phonics and times tables. We also give out half termly projects which encourage research and exploration as a family.

For more information about Homework in school, please read the policy in the section entitles Policies.
