KS3 

 KS3 Homework notes

1. Each subject’s homework should take about 30 minutes.  Some assignments, however, may require more time and one piece of work could therefore be set over several homework periods.

2. Teachers are expected to set homework on the days above according to this timetable.

3. All homework should be recorded via Classcharts.  Students should check Classcharts every day for homework set. Most homework will now be set based around the Knowledge Organisers which the students have been given. Students should also be encouraged to do independent learning and this may be on Sam learning or similar platforms as directed by each department.

4. Homework should not be required to be handed in on the following day nor will homework necessarily be marked by the teacher. Formal feedback will be given every 8 lessons as per our school policy. Students should plan their workloads carefully to ensure that too much homework is not left for any one evening.

5. It is expected that each student will also read for 20 to 30 minutes every evening in order to improve their literacy skills, this is to reinforce the Reading and Literacy drive that we have in tutor time and in curriculum areas.

6. Other subjects may set homework as required; this may be on a less regular basis than other subjects.
