Homework
Homework supplements the work undertaken in class and encourages pupils
to acquire the habit of self-study and of working on their own. In
addition to homework set by the teacher it is important that pupils
should engage in regular revision of their notes and in supplementary
or background reading.
Homework will be set regularly in all
year groups. We expect it to be tackled responsibly. Each subject area
within the Academy should reflect the whole school policy regarding the
positive value of homework.
A Student Planner is provided for
each pupil at the beginning of a new session. These should be used to
record all homework issued. This acts as a reminder for students and
allows parents and staff to see the volume of homework that students
have at any given time. Parents are
asked to regularly check their child’s diary, ensure that
homework is being completed and on time and sign it each week.
Parents are encouraged to contact the Academy if they have any concerns
about homework. As part of our Quality Assurance process parents and
pupils will be asked to evaluate the homework which pupils are being
asked to submit.
