Homework

Students at Brewood CE Middle Academy have homework set for the following reasons:
·       to encourage a positive attitude to learning;
·       to enhance and practise subject specific skills;
·       to develop independence, time management and responsibility;
·       to improve learning and progress;
·       to stimulate intellectual curiosity and encourage independent learning;
·       to consolidate skills and knowledge;
·       to reinforce and extend classwork.
