Homework Matters! Homework at secondary school is usually more formal and demanding than at primary school, so when home and school work together, your child will benefit. It is important that you continue to take an active interest in your child’s schooling and home learning, in ways that work for you and your child. As a parent/carer you play a key role in helping your child to manage the school-home learning-life balance for their wellbeing and ensure that your child makes the most of his/her educational opportunities in order to be high-achieving. Your child will be set homework through the week, so please do encourage your child to complete it and hand it in on time.
