Homework is a tricky topic.  

For some parents we set too much/too little/too hard/too easy/too academic/too creative homework.  Despite this, however, we all agree that we want the best for your children, and that we want them to get a really powerful education; being well-educated opens more doors in the future.

Homework at Turton, in years 7, 8 and 9 will help our students to review their learning: we have to return to learning lots of times to make it stick.  It will also be structured in order to help get our students into strong habits of working at home.  We all know that eventually we have to be able to work, even when no-one is checking up on us, but this takes a little practice and training.

Year 7, 8 and 9 students will have a weekly homework from every subject.   (This is separate to the summer learning that pupils have already done.) 

They will receive a paper booklet from every subject explaining exactly what to do each week and a zip folder to keep the booklets in.

They will also receive a homework timetable that tells them the set day that they must hand in each subject. (Some subjects have had to alter this slightly if a class has more than one teacher, but teachers will make sure that students have changed this in their planners.)

SEND students, will be given additional support in order to be able to access the homework set.

We know that, as with everything, we need your help and support to get this right.  You know your child best, and know how much you will need to check on them to begin with in order to make sure that they complete all of their homework to a good standard. So a thank you in advance for supporting your child, and helping us to make that powerful education a reality.

Positive Affect Variability is Associated with Homework Management Difficulties in Children with ADHD

Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often experience academic challenges such as frequent homework difficulties. A subset of children with ADHD exhibit clinically significant levels of affect variability that may contribute to ADHD-related impairment such as homework difficulties. The present study sought to examine the relations between negative and positive affect variability and the two domains of homework problems (i.e., homework management and homework completion) in children with ADHD. It was hypothesized that both negative and positive affect variability would be associated with homework completion and homework management difficulties in children with ADHD. Participants ( n  = 47) included parents of 7–11-year-old children ( M  = 8.36, SD  = 1.31) with ADHD. During the baseline session, parents completed a structured diagnostic interview and questionnaire measures to assess children’s homework problems, ADHD symptoms, and related psychiatric conditions. Subsequently, parents provided ecological momentary assessments (EMA) ratings of their children’s positive and negative affect three times daily over a one-week period. Results indicate that, while controlling for ADHD symptom severity, positive affect variability was significantly associated with homework management but not completion difficulties in children with ADHD; negative affect variability was not associated with homework problems in either domain. The current study highlights the importance of positive affect regulation in children’s navigation of the homework process, and results suggest that children with ADHD who struggle with homework management difficulties might benefit from homework interventions that incorporate positive affect regulation strategies.

Positive affect variability is associated with homework management difficulties in children with ADHD.

Negative affect variability is not significantly associated with homework problems in children with ADHD.

Positive affect variability estimates homework management difficulties even when controlling for ADHD symptom severity.
