Homework
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
