Expectations & Revision Strategies

How much work should I be doing at home?

  • 1 - 2 hours a day of additional work outside of normal lesson time

  • 2 - 4 hours over the weekend

  • This may sound a lot but those of you that do this develop the ability to manage your time which will become important, especially as exams approach.


Behaviour expectations:

  • Teachers will give break time, lunch time and after school detentions to students for poor behaviour

  • After school detentions for poor behaviour are 30 minutes in length the following day

  • Phones seen anywhere in school will be confiscated and returned to the student at the end of the day
