Homework

At NHTS we believe homework is an essential part of students’ learning experience and will be used to reinforce, consolidate and extend the learning that takes place in school.

Homework allows students to take ownership of their learning and encourages them to develop the skills of independent learning. This will support with the confidence and the motivation needed to study effectively on their own and help students to prepare for examinations and further study in the future. It also provides opportunities for parents and carers to play an active role in their children’s education, to be involved in the management of their children’s learning and to be kept informed about the work their child is doing in school. We ask that (where possible) parents/carers support home working and provide a calm working environment at home.

The 5 Principles of Homework

Homework will be connected to prior learning

Tasks will be meaningful and directly relevant to the curriculum

Homework will be accessible to all students

Tasks will be monitorable by staff and parents

Feedback will be provided on homework

Independent Study Space

Our Independent Study Space is available for students to use every Tuesday – Thursday, from 2.40 – 3.40pm.

Students can use the computer facilities or just work independently on their homework and revision.

Homework is on Class Charts

All homework is set on Class Charts, in one easy to access platform. Students and parents can use Class Charts to keep a track of due dates and plan when students will complete their tasks.

The Class Charts mobile app should be used to monitor and support homework completion. Each student has been provided with login details to access homework that has been set and to forward any completed materials to their teacher.
