Homework and home study are essential elements of academic success at all Key Stages.

​

Homework reinforces and helps pupils to retain information taught in the classroom as well as increasing their general understanding of the language. Homework develops study habits and independent learning with research showing that homework also benefits factual knowledge, self-discipline, attitudes to learning and problem-solving skills. These are some of the skills we want every St. Cecilia’s pupil to develop and so we place great importance on completing homework to a high standard.

​

We encourage all pupils to follow the homework guidelines below to ensure that they achieve of their best.

​

• Record all homework given neatly and accurately making careful note of the date it is due to be completed.

• Complete homework in a quiet place free from distraction

• Plan each week to ensure that work is completed on time and to the highest standard.

• Use the school Homework Club / Study support facility available after school (Monday – Thursday 3pm – 4.15pm)

• Take pride in the work completed at home
