Homework
Thursday, 13 November 2008 15:02
Homework is an integral part of school work and its proper completion is essential to:
- the development of independent learning
- the acquisition of study skills
- academic progress
- examination success
All pupils are provided with a homework timetable for inclusion in their academic planners. Parents are requested to check the completion of homework against the timetable.
The following are guidelines for the minimum time to be spent on each subject set:
- years 7, 8 and 9 – 30 minutes
- years 10 and 11 – 40 minutes
Parents are asked to provide a suitable environment for study at home but supervised study facilities are available at school during break and lunchtime and before and after school.
Special arrangements are made for those pupils who experience genuine difficulty in completing homework.
Sanctions such as detention are used with those pupils who fail for no good reason to complete homework to a good standard.
