Homework

Regular homework is a valuable part of the school curriculum. Homework enables our students to consolidate good learning habits.

It allows them to work completely independently, therefore enabling teachers to assess what students are able to do outside the classroom unsupported. Homework strengthens students' knowledge.

Homework enriches students' experiences, allowing them to explore subjects beyond the classroom environment and curriculum. Homework prepares students well for further study where independent learning skills are vital.


Homework procedures

At KS3, all English homework is completed on Bedrock Learning, Maths homework is completed on MathsWatch and Science homework is completed on Seneca.

All homework for other subjects will be set on Microsoft Teams. Please contact the academy if you are having difficulties with IT or internet access at home.

Students are expected to complete all set homework and should seek the support of their classroom teacher if they find homework too challenging.
