At Ysgol Afon Wen our Triple-A Promise — Activate learning, Advance curiosity, Achieve success — guides everything we do. Homework is a key part of that promise: it provides clear, sequenced practice that helps our pupils to embed classroom learning, build independent study skills and improve progress across the curriculum.

What the homework booklets are

• Age-appropriate, termly booklets matched to the skills and content being taught in lessons.

• Designed for all year groups in the Advance and Achieve phase 

Why homework matters at Ysgol Afon Wen

• Consolidates classroom teaching so pupils retain and apply knowledge more effectively.

• Supports reading, maths and disciplinary literacy across subjects.

• Builds routines of responsibility and independent learning that prepare pupils for GCSEs and beyond.
• Helps teachers and parents see where pupils need further support early on.

Expectations (what we ask pupils to do)

• Complete the set tasks by the deadlines set by their teachers

• Access the booklet to read the knowledge pages and remind themselves of the homework tasks per subject.

• Aim for independent completion, asking for help when needed.
