Enhancing Learning in Homework Clubs offers schools a practical method of enhancing pupil learning, raising grades, improving pupil attitudes towards education and fostering positive community relations. It is probably not going too far to claim that where the potential of homework clubs is maximised the whole culture and ethos of a school can change.

The methods proposed in this School Improvement Report can be adopted everywhere. They have no added cost implications - indeed, they can reduce costs because of the way in which the work develops. Likewise, rather than increasing the time that teachers need to spend on the activities, the level of supervision can actually be reduced once these approaches are implemented. The benefits will be felt throughout the school.

This report demonstrates that, once the best methods of implementing change are introduced, such improvements can be easier to start and are easier to maintain than most schools imagine. Homework clubs can indeed be an important route towards school improvement. It is a process that is within the grasp of virtually every school in the country, providing the best procedures are followed.
