Key Stage 4
In Year 10 and 11, homework needs to support students to develop a wider range of skills and so looks not only at retrieval, but extended writing, exam technique practice and also encourages them to develop more independence by reading around or researching a particular topic or topics.
Homework plays a vital role in your child’s education and our strategy is to provide opportunities for students to:
- Help recall facts from memory.
- Practice tasks they have done in lessons.
- Prepare students for upcoming lessons.
- Build confidence, responsibility, independence, organisation and time management skills.
- Boost their progress and outcomes.
Below are details of the homework schedule for all students in Year 10 and Year 11.
