Homework |
||
Homework is an important aspect of all pupils' work. It should not be set for its own sake but to aid the learning process. At Leckford Place all staff understand the need to set and mark homework on a regular basis and to be realistic, specific and encouraging in their comments. The school will ensure that homework is monitored for quality and quantity while Form Tutors will be responsible for checking that homework is being set and completed on a daily basis. For their part, pupils: • are responsible for writing into their homework diary all details of any homework given (including the date set, date due and how long it took to complete) • are expected to complete their homework to the best of their abilities and hand it in by the deadline set. • will need to ensure that their parents have seen, approved and signed their homework diaries on a weekly basis. Form tutors will need to check that this has been done. Homework will be set in accordance with the published homework timetables. The number of homeworks will vary according to age but good practice suggests that the average amount of time spent on homework should fall within the following ranges: • Years 7-8: 45-90 minutes per day in total • Year 9: 1-2 hours per day in total • Years 10-11: 1.5-2.5 hours per day in total |
