In Year 7, 8 and 9 it supporting your child’s learning at home helps to maintain and improve academic progress. Ways in which you can help your child are:
- Offer support to complete Hegarty (Sparx) Maths homework tasks.
- Offer to support Science homework – Century Science on-line platform.
- Encourage your child to read and compete their reading log for English
In addition, in Years 7, 8 and 9 each subject area has a topic knowledge Driver in student exercise books that can be used to learn ‘sticky knowledge’ from and subject specific vocabulary. Learning this key knowledge will support all students in remembering and knowing more as the academic year progresses and with each of their subject assessments.
Useful links to general school work are below and all students will always have weekly Sparx Maths tasks, Science Century questions and English Reading to complete. We would encourage all students in Year 10 to begin their revision early, as there are exams in Pentecost term every year and Y11 Mock GCSE’s Advent term.
