Key Homework Information
How will homework support your child's academic progress?
The homework which we set your child provides them with an opportunity to consolidate and develop their understanding of the content taught in lessons, as well as providing an opportunity to carry out further research.
We believe, and having engaged with academic research, that this approach is highly beneficial for our learners in building their long-term memory, and ensuring the content they cover is class is not forgotten. We also acknowledge that homework can play a vital role in enabling our pupils to become independent learners. Homework helps develop pupils organisation, build routine and develop good habits, all of which foster independence.
We understand that we all have different commitments after school. Therefore, to help assist with this all homework be issued every Tuesday on Show My Homework, with completion due on the following Monday. This allows you and your child to plan out at what points in the week homework will be completed.
For times when your child has completed all of their homework, there are additional research projects which pupils can chose to engage with to enrich their learning that has taken place. Our Learning Beyond the Classroom section on our website also details how you can help develop your child’s deeper thinking through increased access to watching and listening to podcasts, videos, and documentaries.
