How to Set Up a Homework Club
Written by Alison Smith
Do you have students in your class who fail to complete their homework on a regular basis?
Homework is a hot topic. It can be time-consuming for both students and teachers. Increasingly, there’s a divide between those who believe that homework plays an important part in learning and those who suggest the time would be better spent playing outdoors, with family and developing relationships.
Whatever your personal viewpoint is, you may be tied to the homework policy of your school. So, first and foremost, if you haven’t already done so, make reading your school homework policy a priority.
Next, I would like to offer one piece of advice…
Communicate about homework and communicate well. Communicate clearly with students, parents, guardians and teaching partners. Avoid homework surprises at all costs.
Use our Editable Homework Information Sheet to communicate effectively. It’s a good idea to update this information every term to stay on top of changes and to keep parents up to date with any new additions.
What Makes Homework Meaningful?
Homework tasks should be meaningful. Worthwhile homework is more likely to engage your students and may lead to more involvement in class . Meaningful homework tasks may take a little more time to prepare but believe me, it’s worth it. Before you set a homework task, you might like to consider whether the task:
- has a clear purpose – to practise, check understanding or apply knowledge and skills
- provides an opportunity to review, practise and develop skills they already know
- provides students with an opportunity to do something they enjoy
- enables students to relate learning with the real world
- provides students with an opportunity to experience success and some degree of independence
- provides students with the opportunity to be critical thinkers.
To read more about the wider picture when it comes to homework, read my blog, Why Take an Alternative Approach to Traditional Homework?
Homework Red Flags
For many students, homework is stressful. For many busy families, it’s hard to find the time, space and energy to fit homework into an already jam-packed daily schedule. For some, home life can often be chaotic, loud and full of distractions.
If you have students in your class who are repeatedly failing to complete homework, take the time to consider how your school community can support students and parents.
What is a Homework Club?
A homework club is a safe, supportive and productive student meetup out of school hours to assist students in completing their homework. Homework clubs provide vital support for children who do not otherwise have the help that they need.
Homework clubs can provide:
- a safe, quiet and calm space for students to concentrate
- a supportive environment
- one to one or small group support
- a chance to share knowledge
- an opportunity to build relationships
- an opportunity to develop good work habits and a positive attitude towards learning
- the chance to develop skills involved in becoming an independent learner.
How to Set up a Homework Club
Here are a few tips to get you started:
- Decide who – Start small. Identify a small group of students who need support with completing homework. Follow the protocol for contacting parents and obtaining their permission.
- Decide what – Plan what activities will be included. You might like to go with a simple plan such as snack, active learning game, class homework, chill out time.
- Decide where – Choose a suitable venue. Good options include the school library, a classroom, or a shady outdoor space (my favourite option). Complete a risk assessment.
- Decide when – Start with once a week. Choose an afternoon when you usually stay back after school. Check that your time slot does not clash with other popular extracurricular clubs.
- Decide why? – Decide on the purpose of your homework club. Is it to develop good work habits, provide a calm productive workspace or to improve academic results?
For more helpful tips on taking your homework club outside, read Emma’s inspiring blog Opening the Door To an Outdoor Classroom | Creating an Outdoor Lesson Box .
Tips for Leading a Homework Club
Leading a homework club requires a certain amount of organisation just like everything else. Here are a few tips and ideas to get you started:
- Make sure that your students have a healthy snack and a water break before beginning the session. Don’t forget you!
- Break your homework club session into 4 short intervals : active game, class homework, fast finisher and chill out time .
- Play an Active Game to let off steam and build positive relationships.
- Have a supply of spare pens, pencils and other stationery items.
- Have enough adult support for the number of students in your group.
- Establish clear expectations for conduct and work standards.
Being Ready to Learn at Homework Club
Having clear rules and expectations for homework club is critical. Without rules and regulations, you may find that students think of homework club as the ultimate playdate. Why not use our brand new Behaviour Learning Ladder – Vertical Chart ?
One way to visually keep track of your students’ behaviour is to create a behaviour learning ladder for homework club. A behaviour learning ladder is a great visual reminder for you and the students and includes a step by step warning system for your students.
When you are sharing your expectations, be sure to include areas such as punctuality, commitment, work standards, bringing homework and respecting the needs of others.
For more information on how to set up and use a behavior learning ladder read Holly’s brilliant blog Classroom Management | How to Use a Behaviour Learning Ladder .
Start Homework Club with an Active Learning Game
Don’t forget that after a busy day at school, kids need to be kids. Make sure that the students who attend homework club have a brain break and a chance to play before they are expected to focus and concentrate.
Our Active Learning Resource Pack is a brilliant resource pack that includes 15 active games to play as the perfect brain break before or during homework club. Active games promote fun, active ways of revising learning and are perfect for small groups.
Stock Up on Learning Tools for Homework Club
Get set up with learning tools to encourage independent learning. As a starting point, I used:
- Emoji – Numbers 1 to 100 Chart
- Rainbow Numbers Poster
- Multiplication Facts 1-12 – 4 Per Page
- Phonics Flashcards and Progress Tracker – Motorbike Theme .
Fast Finisher Activities
Stock up on fast finisher activities to avoid one or two students disrupting the calm. Check out the 88 teaching resource in our Fast Finisher Activities Collection to prepare for any situation.
[resource:9333][resource:8326][resource:9303][resource:7971]
Homework clubs can make a huge difference to the school lives of students who find completing homework a challenge.
You are an exceptional being because you go the extra mile and do exceptional things.
Take the time to consider the possibility of initiating a homework club. Perhaps, all you have to do is suggest the idea, work out the who, what, where, when and why and find the right team to run the show.

What Is Homework Club?
Homework club is an after school club for students to complete homework/school work. Students report to a specific classroom and are supervised by a teacher. The teacher will offer assistance and check on students to make sure they are completing school work. The length of homework club will vary by school but usually lasts for about an hour after the school day ends.
Who Is Homework Club For?
Homework club if for students that struggle to complete school work and homework.
Students that attend homework club benefit from a quiet place to complete work after school.
Homework club is usually available to all students but often students with a 504 or an IEP will get first consideration.
In my school we have limited spaces in homework club so it’s up to us, the teachers, to choose students that will benefit from it the most.
If you need a description of what homework is then I answered that in this article .
How Often Is Homework Club?
How often a school has homework club really depends on the school and the district.
First of all not all schools have the means to offer homework club to students.
Because the teacher that supervises the students in homework club needs to be compensated and some schools don’t have the money to pay them.
For schools that do have the money to pay a teacher to supervise homework club they may offer homework club every day or only a few days a week.
The middle school I work at offers our students homework club two days a week.
Is Homework Club Effective?
Whether or not homework club is effective depends on two things: the teacher supervising and the students.
If the supervisor engages with the students and sets expectations for work completion then the club can have an impact.
However, if the supervising teacher is not engaged then the students will not get as much work done.
In my experiences I have seen homework as beneficial to students but have also had students that attend it and it doesn’t seem to impact their grade or learning at all.
Often the students that are in homework club are students that struggle with work completion and organization.
This is why the teacher that supervises them really needs to have them set daily or weekly goals to ensure that work completion is taking place.

How to Set Up a Homework Club
Homework clubs can be a fantastic way for students to get together, help each other, and stay motivated to complete their school assignments. If you’re considering setting up a homework club, here are some steps to guide you through the process.
Define the Purpose and Goals
Before you start a homework club, it’s important to determine why you’re starting it and what you hope to achieve. Do you want to provide a quiet space for individual study, or are you aiming for collaborative learning where students help each other? Setting clear goals will help guide the structure of your club.
Choose a Location
A suitable location is critical. This place should be quiet, have enough space, and be easily accessible to students. Libraries, community centers, or empty classrooms are excellent places as they provide a formal atmosphere conducive to studying.
Set a Schedule
Decide on the days and times that the homework club will meet. It’s important to consider when students are most likely to attend — after school or in the evening. Be consistent with the timing so that students can build it into their routine.
Gather Materials
Make sure you have all the materials necessary for effective studying: textbooks, reference books, stationary supplies like pens and paper, computers with internet access if possible, printer/scanner facilities, etc.
Establish Rules and Structure
Creating a set of rules helps to maintain order and focus within the group. For instance, settle on rules regarding noise levels, toy usage during club time (like phones), or bringing snacks. Additionally, decide how the time will be structured—whether there’ll be a quick briefing at the start of each session or if students break off into groups.
Recruit Members
You’ll need to promote your homework club to gather members. You can do this by creating flyers and posters to advertise around your school or local community centers. You could also use social media or word-of-mouth to get the word out there.
Find Supervision
Having an adult supervisor like a teacher or parent can help oversee the club activities. This person can provide homework help if needed or mediate any disruptions that arise during study time.
Secure Funding if Necessary
If you require funds for materials or snacks, look into potential sponsorships from local businesses or educational grants available in your area that support after-school programs.
Monitor Progress and Solicit Feedback
It’s important to keep track of how well the homework club is meeting its intended goals. Ask for regular feedback from members and adjust your strategies accordingly. This ensures that the club remains effective and continues to meet student needs.
With careful planning and management, a homework club can be an invaluable resource that fosters community support among students as they work towards academic success.

Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.
Stay impactful,

A Brief History of Our Alphabet
The story of our alphabet has a rich and compelling history , beginning with ancient civilizations and carrying forward into the present day.
The history of our modern alphabet is a fascinating journey that spans several millennia and cultures. It’s commonly referred to as the Latin or Roman alphabet, and here’s a brief overview of its evolution:
- Phoenician Alphabet (circa 1050 BCE) : The story begins with the Phoenician alphabet, one of the oldest writing systems known to use a one-to-one correspondence between sounds and symbols. This Semitic alphabet had about 22 consonants, but no vowels, and was primarily used for trade.
- Greek Alphabet (circa 800 BCE) : The Greeks borrowed and adapted the Phoenician script. Crucially, they introduced vowels, making it one of the first true alphabets where each symbol represented a distinct sound (both vowel and consonant). The Greek alphabet had a significant influence on the development of other alphabets.
- Etruscan Alphabet (circa 700 BCE) : The Etruscan civilization in Italy adapted the Greek alphabet to their own language. While Etruscan was largely replaced by Latin, their version of the alphabet was a key predecessor to the Roman one.
- Latin Alphabet (circa 700 BCE – Present) : The Latin alphabet emerged from the adaptation of the Etruscan script. Ancient Rome used this alphabet, and it spread across Europe as the Roman Empire expanded. The original Latin alphabet did not contain the letters J, U, and W. These were added much later along with other modifications to suit different languages and phonetic needs.
- Modern Variations : Today, the Latin alphabet is the most widely used alphabetic writing system in the world. It has undergone various changes to accommodate different languages and sounds. For instance, English—among other languages—added letters like ‘J’, ‘U’, and ‘W’, while other languages incorporate additional characters like ‘Ñ’ in Spanish or ‘Ç’ in French.
This evolution reflects not just linguistic changes but also cultural and historical shifts, as the alphabet was adapted by different societies across centuries.
