Our Vision:

"To create a purposeful educational environment where children of all abilities can learn and thrive"

Homework

At North View we believe that the role of homework should be to provide children with a framework for continuing their learning beyond the classroom and to support each learner's progress towards achieving his or her full potential, at their own level.

We aim to:

• personalise the homework provision in order that all children, regardless of ability or other barriers to learning, are able to access an inclusive framework;
• engage other family members in order to inform them of their child's learning and progress;
• promote children's independence and ability to manage and organise their own time and resources with the support of both school and family;
• encourage children to develop a sense of ownership and resonsibility for learning.

In order to achieve our objectives we strive to ensure that homework activities

• provide a balance between academic, physical and practical;
• encourage the use of a range of approaches, including investigative, research and ICT applications;
• are skills-based and reflective of the developing curriculum;
• help learners improve their general knowledge and knowledge of the wider world;
• help children to learn, practise and extend new skills, knowledge and understanding;
• are matched to children's abilities and are inclusive;
• provide structured opportunities for parental involvement, support and communication.
