1 piece of homework every 2 weeks in English, Maths, Science, Geography, History and MFL.
At KS3 we want our students to develop good habits in order that they are well prepared for their KS4 studies and beyond. We will set homework in line with the expectations above and would expect that students in Y7, 8 and 9 spend no more than 30 minutes on an individual piece of homework.
We are working hard to develop the resilience, and aspiration of our students to make them highly successful in their studies at YHS. We would therefore encourage all students to complete homework to the best of their ability and ensure that they ask any questions that might arise from their self-directed study either via the stream on Google Classrooms or in subsequent lessons.
Although staff may not always mark every single piece of homework individually, they will provide answers and feedback on a class level to support pupils in their learning.
We welcome the support you are able to offer at home with this important part of our student’s studies.
1 piece of homework every 2 weeks in all examination based subjects.
Additionally where a quiz has been set as homework, pupils should of course take the quiz, but also spend time looking at their results and reading back through their notes to identify the correct information where mistakes have been made.
Revision guides will often have questions which pupils can work through and submit to their teacher for assessment.

We welcome the support that you can offer at home and teachers are happy to answer any questions that may arise.
NB. A powerpoint showing how to make effective revision cards is available in the Y11 Google Classroom.
