Home learning is an important part of learning and enables students to develop their independence and resilience across the curriculum.
We believe that home learning is an essential part of every student’s education, helping to reinforce learning, develop independent study skills and prepare students for assessments and future success. Completing home learning regularly builds personal responsibility, supports organisation and strengthens understanding of key concepts.
Research shows that regular home learning has a positive impact on progress, particularly for secondary school students. Home learning linked to classroom work is more effective, especially when students understand its purpose – whether to increase knowledge, develop fluency or apply learning in new contexts.
home learning is predominantly set on Seneca Learning which all children have access to. While teachers do set specific tasks to boost progress recorded in children's planners, all children can access this site at any time and select areas of their curriculum to work on. It gives immediate feedback.
The library is open during break and lunchtime to provide an additional space for children to do this.
Children in Years 7-9 have an Accelerated Reader reading book at their personal reading level, so reading of this at home is strongly encouraged. In KS4 home learning often takes the form of learning key information, committing it to memory and revising for assessments and tests.
Positive points are issued for home learning submission.

Teachers will monitor the setting and completion of home learning regularly, providing feedback to help students improve and deepen their understanding. Parents are encouraged to contact the school if their child needs additional support with home learning.
home learning isn’t just about completing tasks – it’s about building confidence, reinforcing learning and discovering what’s possible.
