Homework help
Library staff are happy to help children looking for information for their homework in libraries or on our E-library catalogue.
Any young person aged 8 or over can attend our homework centre in Peacehaven. There is a homework assistant to provide help and parents are encouraged to attend to give their children support.
You can come and go as you please – you don’t have to stay for the whole session. However, centre staff are not responsible for users once they have left the library. Parents should make arrangements for getting children home.
For more on how parents can help with homework see our page on homework and revision.
