Pupils - Homework

Homework

Homework plays a valuable part in a pupil's education and the time spent studying at home makes a significant contribution to the progress a pupil can make.

All pupils will be set homework where and when it complements the work they are doing in college and the study skills they need to develop. The type and length of homework set will therefore vary according to requirements.

Pupils should do their homework at home or by special arrangement, in college after 3pm. It is not feasible for pupils to complete homework at break times or on the bus.

Pupils need to address homework with a proper commitment and we ask parents to support their children and the college in seeing that homework is done well.
