Homework

Students will largely complete all coursework tasks during class time under supervised conditions.

Where students have missed lessons or have gaps in their learning, homework may need to be set.

Classroom based learning (in preparation for coursework tasks) will be consolidated with the use of homework activities.

Revision tasks and activities for the examined unit will also be regularly set as homework.

Expect 30 to 60 minutes (duration) per week.
