Homework

For the academic year 2022 - 2023 we have revised our homework provision in order to support our pupils with their ongoing aquisition of new knowledge and also retrieval of existing knowledge.

We have introduced the use of knowledge organisers and have taught the children how to use these for self quizzing at home. Not only does this support them in aquiring the knowledge needed in order for them to progress through our curriculum, but it also prepares them for independent self study in KS3.

A video explaining how the knowledge organisers can be used for homework can be found here:
