Senior Homework

Homework Responsibilities

Students, parents and the School all have a responsibility to homework:

It is expected that homework is carried out to the best of a student’s ability and is handed in on time. We ask parents to support this expectation. This gives students valuable experience of working to deadlines and facilitates all students receiving their marked work back swiftly.

Homework meeting appropriate standards will be celebrated with positive marks, comments and often merits.

Homework not handed in or not to an appropriate standard will result in further action:

• The teacher will discuss the situation with the student to ascertain the reasons for the work not being completed
• The student may be given a second chance when homework is normally completed to a high standard and on time
• Students may be required to complete the work at lunchtime. If the problem persists, after School detentions may be invoked.
• The Tutor will be informed should the lack or standard of homework become a regular issue and parents will be informed by the subject teacher in the first instance. The Rewards and Sanctions Policy will be followed.
• Continued problems with homework will result in the Tutor, class teacher or Assistant Principal Academic contacting parents so that further strategies in line with the whole school Code of Conduct can be agreed.

Should you have any questions about your child’s homework, please contact your child’s Tutor or the relevant subject class teacher in the first instance.

Further enquiries may be escalated to the Heads of Department or the Assistant Principal Academic. A list of contact details for the Heads of Department can be found below.
