As an academy, we pride ourselves on our knowledge-based curriculum and our homework supports and reinforces what is being taught in each lesson. The homework tasks are designed to aid your child in mastering their subjects by learning more and remembering more.

In Key Stage 3, your child will have the opportunity to complete homework that consists of Knowledge Organisers set via Seneca or independent homework set via SIMS app. Seneca is an online study application that allows students to study information via learning tools and tests.

The following subjects will be setting homework via SIMS App on their relevant platform:

English - Accelerated Reader/Creative Writing

Maths - Sparx

Science - Sparx Science

Spanish - LanguageNut

Art - Booklet

Computing - One Note quiz

The following subjects will be using Knowledge Organisers set via Seneca:

History, Geography, RS, Drama, Food, Healthy Living and Music 

These Knowledge Organisers have been uploaded onto Seneca as ‘sets’ which students will complete weekly. In order to complete the homework, students need to complete two or more activities from the ‘learn, flashcards, write and spell’ section and achieve at least 80% on the test to achieve mastery. Please be aware that any homework set via Seneca will be automatically uploaded. Students should go directly to Seneca to complete this work, reminders will be set on SIMS app. 

In Key Stage 4, all subjects will set independent homework via SIMS app.
