To allow you to practice skills learned in the classroom
To help you learn about more topic areas and to make better progress
To enable classwork to concentrate on those activities in which you need more support from your teachers
To open up areas of study and to make possible the use of materials and sources of information that are not accessible in the classroom
To involve parents and other adults in your work to allow you to work in depth and to follow up areas of interest outside the time constraints of lessons
