Teachers use their knowledge of the relevant curriculum and the information they hold about learners’ prior achievement in order to plan for progression. They support learners to develop their numeracy, literacy and information and communications technology (ICT) skills as an integral part of learning across the whole curriculum. Well planned homework and out-of-class work helps learners to make progress by building on and extending their learning. Homework contributes to and emphasises the expectation placed on parents and carers to support and encourage children and young people to learn and make progress.
