Homework at All Saints
QUOD HABEO HOC DO
WHAT I HAVE, I GIVE
At All Saints Catholic College, homework is an important part of every pupil’s learning journey. It helps pupils to develop independence, resilience and the study habits needed to succeed at GCSE and beyond. Research shows that well-planned homework can add up to five months progress each year.
In line with our motto, Quad Habeo Hoc Do – What I have, I Give, we ensure every child has the support, resources and encouragement to achieve their potential.
