Key Stage 3
Suggested Home Learning Schedule
Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting your child with their Home Learning. After careful consultation and review, we have decided to adapt our Home Learning Policy to reflect a more focussed approach on English and Maths, alongside 'Reading for Pleasure' to support students to make progress in those two key subjects. This will also allow for our students to engage with enrichment activities such as our Extended Day programme.
Students will have the updated schedule and expectations shared with them during tutor time.
Students will be set compulsory Home Learning:
· 1 hour and 40 minutes of Maths per week via Sparx.
· A minimum of 60 minutes of reading per week.
· 2 Bedrock Learning sessions per week (20 points).
*Subject teachers can offer projects, tasks and useful study/revision at their discretion. These tasks will not form a part of our follow up policy and will be voluntary for students. Students who complete these tasks will be rewarded for their participation and effort.
