At Witton Middle School, we continually review our practices to ensure that they have the greatest positive impact on children's learning and wellbeing. Following careful consideration, we are introducing a new homework model designed to make learning beyond the classroom more purposeful, engaging and enjoyable.

We want homework to promote curiosity, independence, a sense of belonging and a love of learning therefore, our new approach combines a small number of core weekly expectations with a range of optional enrichment opportunities that children can choose according to their interests.
