Homework
All lessons are fully supported by our homework programme. Parents are requested to help by providing a suitable workplace at home for their child and adequate time to fulfil their study commitments. In Year 7 the homework routine starts early in the Autumn Term. Form Teachers will give your child a copy of the individual homework timetable for you to sign and return, thus confirming that you know exactly what should be done and when. All homework is published by the teaching staff on Google Classroom. Parents can access this work by asking their child to show them the site and clicking on the ‘To Do’ button..
