At The Wordsley School we believe that homework is incredibly important in helping to give pupils the subject specific knowledge and skills they need to be successful in their studies, both at school and in later life. Homework serves as a valuable tool to reinforce concepts taught in the classroom and provides pupils with an opportunity to apply what they have learned, helping to solidify their understanding of the material.

Homework encourages pupils to take responsibility for their education, manage their time effectively, and develop a sense of discipline in their academic pursuits. It also builds the habits of independent self-study that provide our pupils with the skills they need to be effective learners. We want to cultivate a strong work ethic, resilience and the ability to tackle complex tasks independently – skills that are crucial for success in any field, and build on our school values of resilience and curiosity.

Parents are encouraged to support their child with managing their homework timetable. Pupils may choose to stay behind and use the Library or Homework Club which is open until 4.00pm Monday to Thursday and 3.45pm on Friday.

Each pupil is given access to Class Charts using their school email address. Teaching staff will record homework on the app so pupils’ receive notifications when homework is due. Parents & carers can also log in to Class Charts with a unique code to see the work their child has been set.
