1. Home Learning

2. Home Learning: why do it?
To consolidate learning, deepen your understanding and prepare you for the work to come
To develop effective study habits and be well prepared for rigorous, reformed GCSE courses
To be responsible for your own learning and make great progress!

3. Home Learning: our approach
Is to set a fair, manageable amount of Home Learning
Gives you every chance to complete it in a good amount of time
Sets high expectations through a fair sanctions system if you choose not to complete your Home Learning

EBACC Subjects: First week to be set – w/c : French, History, Geography*
FOUNDATION Subjects: First week to be set – w/c : Music, IT, Drama, Art, Technology rotation
* MFL may set more frequent, shorter Home Learning tasks. Home Learning will be set as a minimum once per fortnight

10. Year 13
Reviewing notes, checking classwork and completing study tasks are basic expectations of every student in every subject and are not “Home Learning” as such
Students should be set 2 – 3 substantial pieces of Home Learning per week (2 x 60-90mins) in addition to the above good study habits
If a teaching group is shared between two teachers, each colleague should set one task
Due to the nature of Year 13 courses, it may be necessary to set more Home Learning, particularly at key points in the academic year when approaching PPEs, Mocks or Assessments
