In order to support your child with their learning and progress, we have a homework timetable for your child to follow. Academic research shows homework can have a significant impact on learning. We will use only one platform to inform you of homework:
• Sparx for Key Stage 3 (Years 7,8,9)
• Google Classroom for Key Stage 4. (Years 10/11)
We will also ensure that all homework tasks are given a one-week deadline.
Please see the Homework Policy for further details on times, expectations, rewards and sanctions.
To support students with their homework, we have a daily homework club where all pupils are welcome. There is access to computers and staff are on hand to help. All pupils get at least 2 school nights to complete homework. Homework should be completed the night it is set as this allows your child time to see their teacher if they are unsure about anything.
If you have any concerns regarding the homework set, don't hesitate to contact the school.
