Homework

We believe that homework is an essential part of the study programme for all students. Homework is set and marked regularly according to a published timetable.

Students will be given appropriate feedback on their homework. All students have a diary to help them organise their homework.

Students can expect the following minimum amount of homework each day:

Year   7 - One hour
Year   8 - One hour
Year   9 - One hour and thirty minutes
Year  10 - Two hours
Year  11 - Two hours
Sixth Form - Three hours as well as supervised study periods in school

The Purpose of Homework

  • To consolidate, reinforce and extend classroom learning
  • To develop skills, confidence and motivation
  • To enable students to manage their own time and the demands of coursework
  • To inform and involve parents in their child's learning
