IGCSE, A Levels

Yes

In years 1 – 4 the emphasis is on regular reading, spellings and times-tables practice, with the occasional topic-based assignment. Students may also be sent home with work they have not finished in class for completion at home.
In year 5-6 students will on average receive 1 piece of homework per night, this should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. In addition to this students will continue with reading and spelling practice.
From year 7 students will receive regular homework set nightly. There is a homework timetable in place to ensure that your son / daughter should not be receiving more than two pieces of homework per night. Initially homework should take approximately 20 minutes per subject but please note that this will increase to 30 to 40 minutes per subject in year 9. Although years 10 and 11 will have considerably more homework in preparation for their IGCSE examinations we would not expect pupils to be studying all evening and weekends.
