Homework

At West Coventry Academy we believe that Homework is a key element of learning. We use Microsoft Teams to set homework and to communicate with students and parents. Please click here to see a guide on how to access Microsoft Teams.

Homework is important because it:

…helps children make progress
…provides an opportunity for parents to participate in their children's education
…is crucial in developing time management skills
…shows teachers where to take your child’s learning next

It also promotes resilience and independence.

Keep a designated homework area at home
Help keep a homework routine for your son/daughter
If your child is struggling with homework they need to speak to their teacher before the next lesson
Praise and encourage your child to help
boost their confidence
Do get your child to teach you
Use the after-school homework clubs
Use Teams to check your child's homework
If your son/daughter has not been able to do their homework, please write a note in the planner for the teacher
Don't get worried by homework – if you are, your child will be too
