At Purbrook Park, we believe that Homework is important to:

• reinforce positive attitudes towards learning
• encourage and develop independent learning (self-organisation and self-discipline)
• broaden and extend the school curriculum
• give opportunities for pupils to develop their creative thinking
• develop home/school partnerships
• prepare students for life-long learning

What are the KS3 Homework tasks?

• One subject task set per term which runs over several weeks
• Each task consists of 3-4 hours work (Foundation) or 4-5 hours work (Core)
• Differentiated through outcome
• Focuses on developing independent study skills
• Languages set short fortnightly homeworks instead
• Maths set short weekly homeworks instead
• All Homeworks are on the school website and available to see through INSIGHT
