Homework

We believe that all students should develop skills as independent learners. Home study plays an important part in the development of this skill and is essential if students are to achieve maximum success in their work.

Students are expected to take responsibility for their learning. Homework is set as appropriate to the lesson and the learning being undertaken. Where no formal homework is set students are encouraged to use time at home to consolidate their learning, review previous learning or start preparing for the next topic through personal research and reading. The quality of homework is monitored by the Raising Achievement Co-Ordinators as well as individual department Heads and Senior Management Team.

All students will be issued with a planner/personal organiser at the beginning of each academic year. This acts as a daily journal and enables school and home to monitor the amount, quality and completion of all homework tasks. It is a vital instant link between home and school.
