Homework is set regularly to encourage students to work independently and to reinforce or extend material covered in lessons. Students have work planners to help them to organise their homework and examination revision, and to help parents check their progress. Work planners also include reading lists, ''spellings", self-assessment and "test yourself" exercises, dates of examinations and other useful information.
We regard homework as very important and one of a number of ways of developing good study habits. Form tutors check students' planners regularly and parents are encouraged to do likewise. Students who have genuine difficulty with homework are given appropriate help and this may extend to advising parents on how to assist and motivate their son or daughter whilst gradually encouraging their child to work more independently.
