At Weston Secondary School we want all our students to aspire to be the best they can be. To support academic development we provide opportunities for students to learn beyond the classroom or school learning space through a series of tasks. These tasks are designed to embed learning and deepen knowledge and understanding.

To ensure we can support students with knowledge acquisition across a wide range of subjects, and provide a range of different experiences, departments utilise a range of different online platforms and paper based work . To support clarity and consistency of expectations, all homework is shared via Bromcom.

It is crucial that students engage proactively with the work set by teachers to allow them to fulfil their full potential. We strongly encourage Parents and Carers to have conversations with their children about this work to reiterate its importance. Parents and carers can view tasks set through the MyChildAtSchool (MCAS) platform.

As a school we are mindful that our students have other commitments outside of school and recognise that personal development, such as attending clubs and groups is as important as academic achievement. To support an effective balance students will receive homework in line with the expectations below.

 Frequency

Core (English, Maths, Science) Foundation subjects
Key stage 3 Every two weeks Every four weeks
Key stage 4 Every two weeks

 

Rewards for completion

As a school, we believe in praising and rewarding those who demonstrate completion of the work set. Positive points will be added via Bromcom to reflect the students effort or achievement.

Independent Study Room

We recognise that not all our students are able to complete work at home. To support our students, offer two study rooms available on Mondays and Wednesdays after school until 3:50 PM. These rooms will provide access to computers and a quiet space for students to complete their tasks.

If you have any questions about work that has been set for your child please contact the class teacher in the first instance. If you have a general questions about out of class work please contact Mrs Bungay, Deputy Headteacher for Teaching & Learning.
