Homework set at Tapton will be in line with our touchstone of ‘meaningful, manageable, and predictable’ for all students in all year groups.
Meaningful
Homework tasks are embedded into the curriculum and relevant to the learning in the classroom. All homework set supports students and facilitates students’ in-class performance or revision for assessments.
Manageable
Homework tasks are designed to be short and regular to encourage good study habits in preparation for later study and working life. To support the completion of homework there are Homework drop-ins available for each key stage once a week which are held in the Library. The club is monitored by members of the Senior Leadership Team and Teaching Assistants.
Predictable
Each department shares information with parents and carers at the start of the school year about homework in their subject in the course handbooks. Homework tasks do not have to be written and could take the form of reading, learning or revision and in mastery subjects (Maths and MFL) students will receive weekly homework to help with their proficiency in these areas.
