To report any safeguarding concerns about a child please contact the Designated Safeguarding Lead, Mr Burr via main reception during school hours.
Consideration is given as to the number of lessons per fortnight and the type and scale of tasks that may be set in each subject so that the demands of homework are manageable for both students and teachers. Homework is reviewed in lessons to check understanding and consolidate learning.
| 3 or less lessons per fortnight | 4-5 lessons per fortnight | 6 or more lessons per fortnight | |
| KS3 | Once every 4 weeks | Once every 2 weeks | Once every week |
| GCSE | Once per week | ||
| A LEVEL | Once per week | ||
Teachers set learning homework that will be consolidated and reviewed at the start of the final lesson in the homework cycle (see above, e.g. if a student gets homework once every 2 weeks it will be due and reviewed in the last lesson of the fortnight in that subject), this not only ensures students have completed it but checks understanding and allows for any misconceptions to be addressed. Homework is recorded on Talaxy and will be visible to parents and students through the website and app. Parents can support their child by asking about their homework and checking that it has been completed.
Homework for KS3 should take up to 30 minutes.
Homework for KS4 and KS5 should take up to 1 hour.
