Dear Lord, guide our school with a vision that is built on love; where everybody matters. A school where the benefits of life are shared and everyone can enjoy themselves; a school where tolerance and mutual respect exist a school where peace and justice go together, and justice is guided by love. Give us inspiration and courage to build a community of love. Amen.

5. Homework Policy
Homework and its assessment is integral to all pupils’ development and therefore it is necessary to have a consistent and informative system for the benefit of staff, pupils and parents.
Aims:
1. To encourage pupils to develop the skills, confidence and motivation to study effectively on their own.
2. To consolidate and reinforce skills and understanding which have been developed in class.
3. To develop pupils’ organisational skills.

7. It is an opportunity to check mastery of skills taught- for the pupil themselves and for the teacher to monitor.
Your child learns to organise and manage his own time.
Your son takes ownership of his own learning – becoming an independent learner.

8. What can I do? Show you are interested

Have a designated homework area
Minimise distractions- turn off the TV, take away mobiles
