You can find out more about our curriculum here.
Homework will be set by English, Maths, Science, History, Geography and French at least once every two weeks. All other subjects will set one piece of homework per half term. In Year 7 no piece of homework should take any longer than 30 minutes to complete. All homework will be logged on the electronic school platform, Google Classroom. Please make sure that your child completes the homework on time, or speaks to their teacher about any problems before the deadline. If homework is not handed in on time they will be given a comment in their planner.
Homework support is available at our Homework Club each afternoon at 3.10pm.
