Homework
As you are no doubt aware, homework forms an integral part of a child’s educational development and as such it is set on a regular basis for all students from Year 7 onwards. Full details of our homework policy, including a timetable of what should be expected to be set when, can be found on our website.
Homework activities can vary significantly, particularly between younger and older pupils, including but not limited to home reading activities, longer projects or essays and more directed and focused work such as revision for tests.
To support our students and parents we utilise a web-based programme called SatchelOne which allows students, and parents, to see exactly what homework has been set and what each deadline for completion is.
HOMEWORK CLUB
While we recognise that parents are incredibly supportive, we are aware that in the modern world competition for quiet space, as well as access to devices or other resources, might prove difficult in busy homes. To that end, we run a variety of Homework Clubs throughout the week, during which time students are able to access assistance from one of our learning support team, use ICT facilities and have access to resources/materials to support the completion of their work.
Remember - Homework Club is not just for pupils who struggle to complete their work independently, it can also benefit students who are not quite reaching their potential but want to excel. The invite is open to all students and attendance does not need to be pre-booked.
SUPPLEMENTARY WEBSITES
There are a number of websites used by different departments to help support the students’ independent learning including:
