Completing homework regularly is an important part of the learning process. Students who regularly complete homework are far more likely to do well at school.
We use two online learning platforms for homework at key stage three and key stage four in most subjects:
Using these platforms every week helps your child build their subject knowledge and confidence.
The activities are designed to help them remember what they have learned in lessons and prepare them for future learning.
The platforms also give students help and guidance as they work. Your child should aim to complete their homework carefully and score 90% or higher.
If your child needs extra help, they can speak to their teacher in lessons or attend our Breakfast Club, Lunch Club or Homework Club, which run throughout the week.
We expect all students to be reading every evening at home for at least 20 minutes. You can read more about how we promote and support reading across the school – including through our award-winning Reading Routes initiative – by clicking the link below.
In addition, Memory Mastery resources are on our website to support students as they prepare for their winter and summer exams.
One of the ways that we are supporting students with homework is by running a Homework Club. Anyone who wants to complete their homework in school is welcome to attend. There are members of the support staff in attendance to assist students as required.
Homework Club runs on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays from 2.35pm to 3.35pm.
Tuesdays and Wednesdays are six-period days and the normal school day ends at 3.35pm on those days.
