Homework

As you are aware the Academy supports student learning at every level and this includes developing independent learning outside of the school environment. Students must learn the skills of completing work in their own time and under their own direction.

In order to organise your child’s time effectively and to keep you informed use the timetable and your child’s planner to help keep up to date with the work your child should be doing at home. We appreciate the strong links between school and home and we urge you to monitor homework via your child’s planner and check their weekly homework tasks.

Tips for effective homework
Make sure your child has a quiet, well-lit place to do homework

Avoid having your child do homework with the television on or in places with other distractions

Help your child with time management

Establish a set time each day for doing homework. Don‘t let your child leave homework until just before bedtime. Think about using a weekend morning or afternoon for working on big projects.

Be positive about homework

Tell your child how important school is. The attitude you express about homework will be the attitude your child acquires.

Stay informed

Talk with your child‘s teacher. Communicate with your child's teacher via their student planner about the quality and quantity of homework. 

Encourage your child to use the school library

This is open before school, during break time, lunch time and after school.  There are lots of resources that can support your child in completing their homework.

Encourage your child to attend Homework Clubs

Homework Clubs run every day after school in the Learning Support Unit.  Students are able to work with teachers and  access resources to help them complete their homework successfully
