A homework club can be useful if pupils have assignments that involve using school resources, such as the library. Many schools have after-school homework clubs where children can get their homework done. In some cases, you might need to be more involved, for example, by testing them ahead of an exam. Be available to help if they have questions or need pointing in the right direction, and check their work over every now and then: teachers will expect good presentation as well as accurate work. However, you can support them by making sure they have a quiet and comfortable place to work without distractions, and all the resources they need.
Talk to your child about how they’d like to organise their homework: for example, would they prefer to get it out of the way as soon as they get home, or have some time to relax first? Do they want to do it all in one go, or break it down into shorter chunks?Īs your child gets used to their new homework schedule, it’s expected that they’ll become more independent and you shouldn’t need to monitor them so closely.
It’s normal for your child to need some help getting used to the greater burden of homework when they start secondary school, and you’ll need to make sure you know what they’re supposed to be doing, chivvy them along when needed, and help them manage their time so it all gets done.
