At Longfield Academy, we passionately believe that homework plays an important role in helping our students to make outstanding progress and is a core element for our students to ‘achieve beyond expectations’. Teaching and learning and the delivery of our curriculum is not restricted to within the classroom or during lesson time.
All homework is set on Google Classrooms, which students can access via their Chromebooks. The amount of homework students are set is outlined below:
Years 7, 8 and 9
Two 30-45 minute pieces of homework should be set by:
- Language and Literature (at least one should be handwritten)
- Mathematics
- Science
One 30-45 minutes piece of homework for each of the other MYP subjects (except Physical and Health Education)
Years 10 and 11
Two 45-60 minute pieces of homework should be set by:
- English Language and Literature (at least one should be handwritten)
- Mathematics
- Double Science (Separate Sciences – one piece per science)
One 45-60 minutes piece of homework for each of the other GCSE subjects.
Students are welcome to complete their homework on any day that suits them, before the deadline. We recommend that students create a Homework Timetable, to help them structure their time and meet deadlines. Below are some examples:
Please note that this is a suggestion and can be adapted to suit individual students and their commitments outside of the academy day. All work is set on Google Classroom by 3pm on a Monday, to allow for flexibility.
This diary is based upon our policy of: 2 35-40 minute pieces of work from English, Maths and Science plus 1 piece of 30-35 minute work from all other subjects. Some subjects, in which students only study one or few times a week will set project work over a longer period of time.
