Homework

At Beacon Hill we recognise the value of working together to enhance your child's educational experience here. We have a home/school agreement which we ask parents to actively support.

All children are expected to participate in the homework activities to reinforce and extend their learning. In the Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1, these tasks are mostly Literacy and Numeracy based and regular, short activities are required. These are usually for parents and children to enjoy together.

At Key Stage 2 the range of activities will widen and by Year 6 children will be required to spend at least 40 minutes daily on homework and work more independently. Parents can help their child to take full advantage of these opportunities by providing encouragement, a regular time for homework, a quiet place to work, some of their time and ensuring that homework is completed and returned on time. There is a homework club that runs on a Thursday evening 3.20 – 4.20pm.
