Homework

Homework plays a key role in developing childrens’ skills, knowledge and enjoyment of particular subjects. It is designed to: 

  • extend knowledge 

  • improve independence and resilience

  • encourage students to read widely and deeply 

  • help ensure excellent progress


 

Homework setting and frequency:

  • Students need to record the task and the deadline in their Student Planner.

  • It is set by subject teachers according to the frequency for their subject, as follows:

  • In Years 7 and 8 English, Maths, Science, ITP and Art set homework once a week and other subjects set homework every two weeks.

  • In Year 9 English, Maths, Science and Art set homework once a week and other subjects set homework every two weeks.

  • Homework instructions will also be visible using the Classcharts app and website.


 

To ensure Homework is completed to a high standard, students should:

  • check they have understood the task and made a note of the due date.

  • ask their teacher what they should do to achieve their best.

  • complete homework to the best of their ability.

  • extend their interests by reading widely around the topics.

  • attend Homework Club if they need more support. Homework Club is available everyday in A1 before school from 8.00 - 8.30 and after school from 3.15 - 4.15. Computers are available to use for online tasks and all students are welcome to attend.
