Home Learning


Home learning is a compulsory part of pupils’ academic work. Home learning tasks set by teachers have to be completed and handed in on time to them. Home learning is planned by subject teachers according to the requirements of the syllabus and the stage reached within it. Home learning tasks may take the form of practice, preparation for classwork, individual research, learning basic information, or revision.


The school uses an electronic system called ‘Show my Homework’ which enables parents to identify home learning set in order to support pupils in their learning.


Assessment


Progress assessments are recorded throughout the year by subject teachers who, by this and other means, track pupils’ progress, reporting to the Curriculum Leaders and to a member of the Leadership Group in cases of diffi culty. A traffi c light system is used to monitor progress.


All pupils are regularly assessed during each half term and progress is recorded in a manner and form complying with National Curriculum orders/ Examination requirements.


Reports are sent annually to parents, which record the performance of pupils, the comments made by each subject teacher upon the degree of effort shown by the pupil and progress to date. Pupil progress, at all levels, is recognised through a Reward System. Interim reports are also given to pupils in Years 7 to 11.


Parents’ Evenings


Even where no particular diffi culties appear to arise, most parents welcome the opportunity of discussing their child(ren)’s progress with the staff of the school, at a series of meetings that are held each year.
