HOMEWORK
The completion of homework is a very important part of the teaching programme. Homework is regularly set
and marked, and forms part of the pupil’s assessment record. Parents are encouraged to discuss homework
with their children and sign the daily planner. Failure to complete homework without a valid reason will be
treated seriously. Pupils are expected to maintain a revision journal to help them personally manage their
learning and share their learning at home in a consistent way. Pupils are also able to opt in to after school
clubs, coursework clinics, booster classes and extension homework to motivate fast track students.

BLENDED LEARNING

All pupils will sign up to Google Classroom where teachers will upload resources such as: media files, pod
casts, PowerPoints with voiceovers, assignments, quizzes, links to websites and much more. Pupils use this
information to support their studies. The term Blended Learning merges ‘face to face’ teaching and ‘remote
learning’. Teachers will choose aspects of pupil work to mark online and other tasks in hardcopy.

THE SCHOOL DAY

Pupils follow a 10 day timetable (Week 1 & Week 2). They
have opportunity for a 10min mid-morning break and a
45min lunch. They can avail of hot food from the servery
during Breakfast Club in the morning, at Break and at Lunch.
There is also a tasty Salad Bar available during lunch where
pupils can order wraps, crusty filled rolls and more! Pupils
may also chose to bring a packed lunch.

study rooms or the common room. There they can relax and
chat with friends during a super free or at lunch.
