Homework

At St Mary's, homework serves as a vital link between school and home, reinforcing classroom teachings and promoting independent learning. The homework is designed to match what we're learning in school, and it helps us learn important skills like being responsible and managing our time. We aim to equip your children with the skills and knowledge necessary for success in both academic and real-world challenges.
