Evening Excellence (Intervention)

Every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday we allow students to stay on after Masterclass and work independently from 4.00 - 5.00pm.  This is the kind of hard work that will ultimately lead to success.

Why do we set Homework?

To support our students learning we set homework tasks. Homework is work that is set to be completed outside the timetabled curriculum. It contains an element of independent study in that it is not usually directly supervised by a teacher. We use a range of online platforms to set, track and monitor homework.

There is clear evidence that successful students make progress when they embrace homework, and see the clear purpose of the task being set. Through homework, students become flexible independent learners able to cope with the demands of a future working life.

Homework enhances student learning, improves achievement and develops students’ study skills and as such is an integral part of the curriculum. It requires careful planning and integration into the scheme of work of each curriculum area and may form part of the evidence from which teachers make assessment decisions reporting on student progress.

Top tips for dealing with stress

Year 11 is an extremely important year. Preparing for exams can be stressful.

Here are five key ways for your child to look after their mental health:

  1. Talk to others 

When we talk to our friends, parents or teachers, it almost always makes things better – a problem shared is a problem halved.

  1. Get enough sleep 

Aim for at least eight hours each night.

  1. Limit your use of social media
  2. Take regular breaks while working or revising
  3. Eat healthily and exercise regularly

If you look after your body, it helps to look after your mind too. Even a short walk can help you.
