Homework

Weekly Homework

For Maths, English, Science, and all Options Subjects – up to 1 hour per week

For subjects with 2 lessons per fortnight – 2 or more homework’s per half term

For subjects with 1 lesson per fortnight – 1 or more homework’s per half term

We do not set homework usually for Core PE, PSHE or RE.

Homework will consist of a range of different tasks and it will be recorded on Arbor by the class teacher. This might 
provide a link to other platforms, but this still needs to be recorded as completed on Arbor. Tutors can check each student to ensure that they can access Arbor and help if needed.  

Arbor for Parents 

Below is a short explanation of how parents can view homework on Arbor:

Step 1:  Logging in

First time students log in all they need to do is enter their new school email and it will prompt them to set a password or to do password reset which will send a link to the school email.Students will need to use the website rather than the parent app.

Step 2: Submitting

If using a separate online platform to do the homework all students need to do is hit submit, as these are marked on the subject specific site no further action on Arbor is taken

If students are required to upload a document they upload a document and hit submit, once the teacher has marked it that mark will appear for the student and also in your gradebook.

Step 3: Parental Tracking

On each students profile there is a dashboard of all outstanding Assignments, clicking on each assignment brings up the details of what’s required. On the same page you will see marked assignments for pieces of work that are manually marked by teachers.
