Homework

At Thistley Hough Academy, we believe that homework should be set to consolidate learning, allowing students to practise the retrieval and application of key knowledge and procedures.

A variety of tasks may be set for homework, designed to encourage students to explore a range of resources, including in many cases digital learning platforms. Some departments may also choose to set an extended piece of work which may be set across several weeks.

Appropriate marking and feedback will be given in a timely fashion, which may include self-marking and diagnostic tools which self-mark, as well as classroom teacher feedback.

Occasionally, homework may not be set every week. Homework is set when it can play an important part in the learning process and not just for the sake of setting homework.
