Homework
Homework is an integral part of success at secondary school. It is recorded and tracked at King’s Academy Easthampstead Park by teachers via Classcharts.
Parents and students download a free app to be able to easily track the homework their child has been set. Find below links to user guides for parents and students on using the Classcharts app.
If a parent or student has a question or query regarding a piece of homework that has been set, please contact their subject teacher by email in the first instance.
In addition to Classcharts, teachers at King’s Academy Easthampstead Park also make use of Google Classroom. This is an excellent way for teachers to share learning resources with students. Teachers may upload videos, slides from lessons, worksheets and homework support to aid students with their independent learning. Students access their Google Classroom by logging into the school website. There is also a free app students can download.
KAEP6
At KAEP, we recognise that to succeed at Level 3 qualifications, it is vital that students are undertaking regular self guided study, wider reading and revision outside of lessons.
For Level 3 qualifications there is an expectation that students will complete an additional hour of work for every hour’s lesson that they have; only in this way can they hope to be successful in their examinations. Teachers will set this work in a variety of ways, sometimes setting a piece of extended writing or research or additional reading. Where no specific work is set, students are expected to consolidate their knowledge and understanding through additional work, reading and revision.
Students on the Ready to Work course will be set homework by each of their teachers and there is an expectation that all work will be completed by the deadline set. The amount of work set will depend on what students are studying and what they need to complete to be successful.
All homework in KAEP6 is set via Google Classroom. Students will be members of a Google Classroom for each subject they study (and in some cases two Google classrooms where two different teachers are teaching different aspects of a course.) Homework will sometimes be submitted via the Google Classroom electronic ‘turn in’ process, and on other occasions via traditional methods.
