Homework

At West Coventry Academy we believe that Homework is a key element of learning. We use Show My Homework, an online platform to set homework and to communicate with students and parents (see link).

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.

How can I help my child with homework?

• Keep a designated homework area at home
• Help keep a homework routine for your 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 Show My Homework 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
