Home Learning

Academy 360 uses Google Classroom as the main resource in support of our home learning strategy.


Homework

Students will have homework set on a regular basis that is meaningful and appropriate to support individuals to consolidate and extend learning. This will be set via Google Classroom with a clear and appropriate deadline.


Homework is set in order to:

  • Consolidate, reinforce and extend what pupils know, understand and can do in the classroom.

  • Develop the skills, confidence, motivation and self-discipline needed to study effectively as independent learners.

  • Involve parents and carers in students’ learning.


Regularity of homework

The quantity of homework pupils will complete each week will vary depending on the curriculum time allocation for each subject, the age range of the pupils and the nature of the homework task.


KS3 (Years 7 & 8)

In KS3 students should expect to receive the following homework:


No. of lessons per week

4 to 5 - Every week

2 to 3 - Every two weeks

1 - Every Four weeks


KS4

In KS4 each subject will set at least one piece of homework every week.


How will we support your child if they are having to self-isolate?

Where a student needs to self-isolate our home learning strategy ensures that they continue to have access to a broad and balanced curriculum.

Students who are self-isolating will receive lesson resources following their scheduled timetable via Google Classroom. In the event of a partial (one or more-year groups) or full school closure in the 20-21 academic year linked to coronavirus, our strategy to set home learning would be based upon the highly successful approach used during the 19-20 academic year. A timetable of learning will be published to students in these circumstances.


Enrichment

Students wanting to access additional resources can find these in the resources section of the Learning Hub. Enrichment will be available for each subject to allow students to continue their learning at home.

Additionally students will have access to:

  • A reading area with competitions, magazines, newspaper articles and links to popular books.

  • Welfare and pastoral resources

  • PSHE lessons
