Important Message for Parents and Carers Dear Parents and Carers,

The teachers of Globe Academy believe that Home Learning is an integral part of developing every student and ensuring that they reach their academic potential.

Home Learning is important because it is point where school and home come together. It serves

as a window through which you can observe your children’s education and express positive

attitudes towards your children about their education and progress. As children grow older,

homework and the amount of time engaged in homework, increases in importance. For Globe

Academy staff, homework is an opportunity to provide additional academic instruction and further

extend your child’s learning.

The benefits of Home Learning for you and your child are as follows:

(1) Practice and participation in home learning tasks can improve your child’s achievement.

(2) When homework is completed accurately and to a good standard, not only will your child’s

general knowledge and grades improve but your child will also increase their mastery of

basic academic skills, such as reading, writing, spelling and mathematics, something

Globe Academy is committed to.

(3) Your child’s ability to bring an assignment home, gather and organise necessary materials

to complete the assignment, return the assignment and receive a level/grade, strengthens

his or her sense of personal responsibility for their learning.

(4) Time management skills are learned and developed.

(5) Further, when homework proceeds smoothly it can become (4) a positive aspect of your

relationship with your child.

(6) Home Learning offers schools an opportunity to let parents know what their children are

learning and keeps parents informed about work being studied and completed in class

time.

(7) Home Learning helps the Academy achieve their overall mission of improving your child’s

achievement.

(8) Homework is the bridge that joins schools and parents. For parents there is the potential to

gain a greater appreciation of your child’s education and achievement.

For these valid reasons we are asking that parents/carers work with us to ensure that your child

completes their homework.

Your child will receive a homework booklet for each subject and we ask that all parents/carers

ensure that the tasks in this booklet are completed on time and to a high standard. Together we

can improve your child’s progress and attainment.

Please sign below to confirm your agreement to support Globe Academy by checking and

ensuring your child completes their Home Learning Tasks each week. In addition please sign and

comment if necessary, the Homework Record sheets also in this booklet.

Thank you in advance for your support. Do not hesitate to contact me with any queries or
