Homework

At King Edwin Primary School, we believe that homework is an important part of every child’s learning journey. It helps to reinforce what is taught in class, builds good learning habits, and strengthens the link between home and school.
 
We understand that families are busy, and we aim to keep homework manageable and meaningful.
 
The following table outlines homework expectations for each Year Group:

In addition to this, children will have the opportunity to undertake a class project each half term. The homework project overview outlines the different activities that the children are encouraged to complete. All project work will be shared and celebrated with the rest of the class at the end of each half term.
