Homework Policy

Homework can help to improve achievement and raise attainment of individual pupils where it is meaningful, purposeful and enhances learning experiences. It is also an essential part of preparations for internal and external assessment. Pupils are putting their success in SQA examinations in jeopardy if they do not develop a good homework routine. At Bathgate Academy we believe the fundamental purpose of homework is to develop pupils as life-long, independent learners. As such, we see it as our responsibility to provide high quality homework to our pupils.
