Homework

Home learning is an important part of academy life as it is a chance for students to develop their independence- one of our 5 Be values. Home learning is used by teachers primarily to embed and revise the knowledge that is taught in the classroom, and therefore is a key part of success in assessments and GCSE examinations.

Students in KS3 will be set one piece a week for their core subjects (English, Maths, Science) and one piece a fortnight in all their other subjects.

Students in KS4 will be set one piece a week in all their GCSE subjects.

All home learning tasks are recorded on an app/website Satchel. We encourage parents to support their child by logging into your Satchel account regularly to check their home learning calendar.

Your child also has access to Sparx Reading and is expected to achieve 600 points per week by reading for approximately 60 mins.  Highest Sparx Reader achievers will receive a termly reward.

We expect every student to complete home learning in full to the set deadlines. We offer home learning club on Monday to Friday between 3.05pm and 4.00pm, where we welcome all students within the academy to complete home learning in school. 

Students who do not meet a home learning deadline will be set a correction.

As well as access to these websites, each student can access knowledge organisers via their Teams account. These contain a summary of what the students need to know in each subject each for every half term. Some home learning will be set from them and students can also use them to test themselves on what they have learnt.
