Homework is an integral part of learning, and it is important for consolidation, application, creativity, revision and extending in class learning.  We expect all students to engage with all the learning tasks that are set and to go beyond this e.g. by watching the news, completing wider reading.   

Homework is set and submitted via Microsoft Teams.  Teachers will track and monitor who has completed work.  Homework may incorporate independent learning resources e.g. Educake, My Maths, SENECA.
