Year 7 students will have a homework timetable which will be published at the beginning of year, which staff are requested to adhere to. The school wishes to establish a routine for students new to the school.
From Year 8 onwards the school adopts a more flexible approach to the setting of homework which relates to the different learning styles associated with different subject areas and individual circumstances of each class. Some subjects may therefore set 1 piece of homework for the allocated amount of time, others may set 2 / 3 shorter pieces of homework which will add up to the allocated period of time.
Similarly, rather than set a class a homework because of a pre-determined timetable that is unrelated to what has been taught, the teacher can choose the appropriate time during the week to set the homework related to the learning process. To avoid overload a minimum of 48 hours to complete the task will normally be given.
Year 7 6 hours 40 minutes per week
Year 8/9 7 hours 45 minutes per week
Year 10/11 8 - 11 hours per week
Year 12 12 hours per week
Year 13 15 hours per week
