Each week Y10 students must complete home learning for English, Maths and Science. As students prepare for the rigours of KS4, home learning expectations are gradually increased to include non core subjects more frequently. The home learning tasks are the minimum requirement and students are expected to have their own revision timetables.

Failure to complete their home learning by the due day, for any subject, will result in a break time detention.
