Homework

Homework is an important part of the work done at West London Academy. It is essential for academic success. Specifically, homework:

• adds a substantial amount of study time to a student’s education;
• offers opportunities for work which is independent of the teacher;
• can exploit materials and sources of information which are not accessible in the classroom;
• allows students to complete work started in school;
• allows students to practise skills learnt in the classroom;
• permits the setting of tasks in accordance with the ability of the student;
• strengthens home-school links enabling parental involvement;
• set on a regular basis, encourages good study habits and ensures that work becomes part of the culture.
