Homework
In year 9 students should expect approximately 7-8 hours’ homework per week. All homework should be recorded on the Show My Homework website/app. Some departments will set larger project-type homework which may take longer.
It is really important to create good habits regarding homework in year 9, as teachers will want to see a strong work ethic, especially as you may want to choose the subject for GCSE next year. If your child does not have set homework, please encourage them to read or even check over work they have finished. This will develop their ability to critique and improve their own work and subsequently understand the best way to answer in exam situations.
