Organisation of Homework
- Pupils are provided with a daily planner in which to record their homework.
- The daily planner is our means of communicating with you about issues such as homework and class tests so this is an important way in which you can support your child in their education.
- Please ensure you sign your child’s daily planner for each Monday morning. The form teacher will check these are signed on a weekly basis.
