Homework No child should be working for several hours to finish a piece of set work. If this happens it may be that: a) too much was allocated b) the student has genuine difficulty with the work c) The student was supposed to have spread the task over several evenings but left it all until the last If you feel that a more than reasonable time has been spent on a homework exercise, please stop the child and write a note as to why the work is incomplete. The teacher can then address the problem and if appropriate, extend the deadline. Year 7 to Year 9 Students will receive homework each day, Monday to Friday. The following are approximate timings. Students should expect homework from three subjects daily. Year 7 Year 8 Year 9 Total time: 1 hour 20 minutes Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes Total time: 1 hour 45 minutes Year 10 and Year 11 – External Examination Courses Students receive homework each day, Monday to Friday. There is no set timetable as examination courses require more flexibility. Appropriate time requirements are: 3 hours per night, Monday to Thursday plus approximately 6 hours on Friday (to include the weekend). The total amount of time should not exceed 20 hours per week. Homework/Private Study Advice • Ensure that homework is recorded fully and accurately. • Seek help from a teacher if the child faces difficulties in completing homework well before the deadline. • Provide a quiet, appropriate place at home for the child to complete homework. • Parents must ensure that the homework is signed each day.

Sixth Form (IB and A-Levels) All students entering Years 12 and 13 will study the IB Diploma or A-Levels. IB is a rigorous two-year programme and A-Levels runs for 18 months. Both programmes are widely regarded as the best pre-university course for international students. The IB and A-Levels allows its graduates to meet the requirements of virtually all the world’s educational systems. At this level, there is a strong system of pastoral care and teacher guidance. Each group has two tutors and access to two university counsellors. Each student is assigned to a teacher mentor to help students keep on track. All of our former IB students are at universities worldwide, including those studying Medicine, Natural Sciences and Law. SECTION 9 - 6 -
