It’s time to talk about all things homework in the first of our two-part discussion! 
In this first episode, Chris and Emma focus on the research behind homework 
– what is the impact, how much should be set and how often should it be set? 
With a discussion about the history of homework along the way, including how 
the Labour government and the Victorian attitude to homework impact on modern 
approaches, there’s a lot to get your teeth into!

This week’s teacher tip is a lovely plenary idea that will promote oracy and positivity
in your classroom!
