Each week Year 9 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. This will be on a bi weekly basis and structured so these weeks are balanced.

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