We believe that homework is an essential part of the school programme. We believe that it is important to encourage independent study, and we set out to make homework activities as varied as possible.

Homework can involve a variety of tasks. A homework timetable is provided for all pupils. It is the pupil’s responsibility to record homework in their homework diaries, which are checked regularly by tutors.

Year 7 and 8 Homework

Notes for Parents of Year 7 and/or Year 8 pupils:

• The deadline for handing in homework is Friday; pupils should hand in their homework on the preceeding Thursday if their House Assembly falls on the Friday deadline.
• Please encourage your child(ren) to start each homework task at the weekend so that they have time to ask teachers for help before their deadline.
• Meeting deadlines is a skill that children in Year 7 need your help in achieving, detentions will be set if deadlines are not met.
• Please encourage your child(ren) to present their work well - answers should be written out on paper, not squeezed onto the question sheet.
• Should your child(ren) require resources, such as: paper, coloured pens, etc., they should ask the relevant subject teacher or form tutor.
• Please contact Mrs Sewell (Assistant Headteacher) directly if you have any further questions or concerns.

Below is the full list of all homework assignments for 2011-2012 along with the date by which it should be handed to your child(ren)'s Form Tutor. Please click on the name of the homework to download a copy.
