To assist in the completion of homework we ask that you encourage your child to discuss their homework with you, you give them time and space to complete it, and when they ask for help you support them to the best of your ability. If a student is ever struggling with homework, their teacher is more than happy to give additional advice and guidance – just don’t leave it to the last minute!
