Home Learning

homework

At Chace we believe that home learning:
– is integral to learning and that the home – school partnership make our home learning policy work through the active support of parents/carers.
– reinforces and complements learning in the classroom and beyond and promotes lifelong learning.
– provides teachers with information on which to base future planning and provides opportunity for assessment and feedback to students.

The school uses ‘Google Classroom’ to share home learning tasks with the students. The amount of home learning a child receives varies according to their age and the nature of the home learning activity. We review annually how much home learning students are being set but currently follow the guidelines below:

Group Time
Years 7-8 45-90 minutes a day (approximately 20-30 minutes a subject)
Year 9 1-2 hours a day (approximately 30-40 minutes a subject)
Years 10-11 1.5-2.5 hours a day (approximately 1 hour a subject)
Years 12-13 4-6 hours per subject per week

The home learning timetable below indicates the night on which students should complete their home learning in each subject although home learning may be set by the subject teacher a day or so beforehand, depending on when the nearest lesson occurs.
