At Longvernal, homework is considered to be part of our shared approach with families to enable children to achieve their full potential. It is also a good skill to develop through primary school in preparation for secondary school where pupils will be expected to complete homework every night.
Below is an outline of typical homework expectations for the different year groups. From time to time this may vary dependent on the topics being covered or because the focus may be a Key Stage or exam preparation focus
