Overview

As a school, we believe that homework encourages the development of independent learning skills and allows students to take more ownership of their education. Promotion and emphasis of homework skills at an early age will help to prepare students for Key Stages 4 and 5 and will in turn aid progression and development.  

Regular home learning has been proven to increase the success of our students.  All students receive a range of homework tasks every day from at least 2 different subject areas.  KS3 students should spend approximately 30-40 minutes per subject each night, and KS4 and 5 students should spend approximately 1 hour per subject each night. KS4 and 5 students will also have coursework to complete. There is a daily homework club in school to support students with all subject areas, and all homework is posted on our website.

Home learning

Each half term students will complete a homework project for a different subject area. They should receive and complete homework in other subject areas as shown in the relevant Key Stage area.  

Tips for effective homework

  • Make sure your child has a quiet, well-lit place to do homework. 

  • Avoid having your child do homework with the television on or in places with other distractions. 

  • Be positive about homework.  Tell your child how important school is. The attitude you express about homework will be the attitude your child acquires. 

  • Help your child with time management. Establish a set time each day for doing homework. Don‘t let your child leave homework until just before bedtime. Think about using a weekend morning or afternoon for working on big projects. 

  • Stay informed. Talk with your child‘s teacher. Communicate with your child's teacher via their student planner about the quality and quantity of homework. 

  • Encourage your child to attend Homework Clubs. Homework Clubs run every day after school in the Learning Support Unit. Students are able to work with teachers and access resources to help them complete their homework successfully.
