Homework

KS3 – Homework at St. Julie’s

 

Homework forms an integral part of students learning at St Julie’s by enabling pupils to undertake independent learning to practice and consolidate skills, conduct in-depth inquiry, prepare for lessons or revise for exams. Homework is set regularly across each curriculum area in-line with curriculum content. Students are expected to record homework in their planners and complete outside of their normal lessons. Your daughter can complete homework at home or use the Learning Resource Centre.

All Sixth Form students have a study space in school from 8am to 5pm each day. During this time pupils will have internet access from a PC using their school login details.
 
Sixth Form students should develop strategies that enable them to become independent learners. We expect students to undertake a variety of tasks to support their independent study such as research, reading, use of Cornell notes, exam practice.
