Independent Learning
Independent learning forms an extremely important part of our vision and philosophy. Our students are encouraged where possible to seek solutions, answers and deepen learning through their own resourcefulness and curiosity. Moreover, they should continually question thier knowledge and understanding to discover further and challenge their higher order thinking skills.
Independent study is our preferred name for homework. It is an extension of the learning in the classroom, designed to consolidate and challenge. All students will receive regular Independent Study across the range of subjects.
Homework is set for a number of reasons, including the following:
• It allows for activities, which enrich the curriculum and further stretch and challenge subject knowledge
• It encourages students to work independently and develops skills of lifelong learning
• It helps to keep parents and carers in touch with school work
• It is essential to create good learning habits that are already in place when it comes to revising for examination subjects
• It provides students with opportunities for retrieval of knowledge acquired throughout the course of study within a study.
Homework can also be set using the various online tools which we subscribe to, such as Seneca, Teams and Kerboodle.

Year 10 Homework Timetable
Year 10 Homework Timetable
This is a provisional homework timetable based on when teachers may be setting homework – some flexibility is needed and is to be expected. We would expect you to be set between 30-40 minutes of work for each subject on each night. We have planned this carefully to ensure that you never have more than 3 subjects work per night. If you have less than this, you should use any spare time to revise areas you have found more challenging and make sure your revision notes are up to date.
