Homework

The main purpose of homework at Central Academy is to support and encourage students to develop independent study skills, organisational skills, effective time management and self-discipline. In addition, it will help to raise levels of attainment and further challenge and extend the in-school learning.

Homework is most beneficial when:

  • It reinforces and extends classwork and consolidates basic skills and knowledge.
  • Students take responsibility for their homework, supported by their parents or carer.
