A Long-Term Homework/Study Plan helps to ensure better exam preparation and avoids the temptation to put off studying until the last minute. • It also ensures a balance between effective use of time for studying and relaxation. It needn’t be “All work and no play”. • A Long-Term Plan is no use at all if it is not adhered to and monitored! • Copies can be downloaded from our school website.

Help to establish these. • Good routines build good habits and goods habits make a huge contribution to effective study and exam success. • You have to encourage good habits and keep talking to your child to ensure that the good routines are being followed.
