Research shows that good quality home learning can have a positive impact on progress for students (on average +5 months). Home learning has a greater impact on secondary students than primary.

Home learning that is linked to classroom work is more effective, and home learning that receives feedback has higher impact on learning.

Students in Years 7 – 9 will receive the following activities to complete at home each day:

1. 100% completion on Sparx Maths weekly.
2. 1 hour of Maths/English per week
3. 30 minutes of each non-core subject every two weeks.

Class teachers will set a specific element from the knowledge organiser to learn and set a SORT activity for students to help them with this.

Students in Year 10 & 11 will receive the following home learning each day:

1. 100% completion on Sparx Maths weekly
2. 30 minutes from Subject 1, including learning and quizzing on knowledge organiser
3. 30 minutes from Subject 2, including learning and quizzing on knowledge organiser

 

There are four stages to effectively revise. This strategy is called SORT and will help you to memorise and recall key information.
