Homework

Homework plays an important part in supporting learning.  It contributes to developing skills such as independent study, self-discipline and personal organization and will be set as follows:

• In KS3 the core subjects (English, Maths, Science) will set one homework per week. All other subjects will set one piece per fortnight.
• In KS4 each examined subject sets one piece per week. Subjects can also set an additional piece a week if needed.
• In KS3 and KS4 students will have more than one night to complete any homework set.

Homework tasks can take a variety of forms:

• They may be set directly from work done in the lesson.
• They may be from a list which students are able to choose.
• Some may take the form of extended projects.
• In KS4 coursework may be set as homework.
• Students may also be asked to improve a piece of work, responding to teachers’ marking.

• Every lunchtime from 1pm-1.40pm. This is mainly for KS3 students but KS4 students who would benefit from additional support are welcome to attend.
