How much homework will I get? At the beginning of the school year you will be given a Prep (Homework) timetable, which lists the subjects that you will have prep from on each day. The amount of prep that is set depends on the Year Group that you are in. Typically though, we would expect you to have: Years 7 & 8 - 2-3 subject preps lasting 25 to 30 minutes each will be set daily (4 subjects on a Friday) Those of you who remain for supervised prep should be able to complete virtually all of this work before you leave. You should also have a reading book available in case you complete your homework before the end of prep. Year 9 - 2-3 subject preps lasting about 30 minutes each will be set daily (4 on Fridays) Again those students remaining after school for supervised prep should be able to complete most of this work before leaving. You should also have a reading book available in case you complete your homework before the end of prep. 9
Where do I go at prep time? Prep is in the hexagon blocks. Whichever block you are allocated, make sure you are there promptly at 4.40pm and that you have the necessary books and materials with you. • Years 7, 8 and 9 students have prep in either the Mathematics, Geography or Languages hexagons. There will be laptop computers available and a printer. CR1 and CR2 will also be available. It is expected that you will work quietly and effectively and it is not acceptable to disturb other students or to disrupt prep. Staying for prep therefore, has to be viewed as a privilege and the school reserves the right to suspend this privilege. During prep time you can sign out to go to the library to borrow a book or to the Music Department (at certain times only with permission from the Director of Music). If you are late for prep for no reason or you deliberately not attend you should expect to serve a School sanction. If you are involved in an activity after school then it will not be possible to complete prep at school. Prep will need to be completed at home in the evening. What are our expectations about Homework? Our expectations are as follows: • Homework should always be completed on time and to the best of your ability. • It is sometimes useful to get parents (or older brothers and sisters) to help, but always make sure that your homework is your own work. • Resist the temptation to copy information from the internet too. If you are caught plagiarising your work you are likely to serve a detention on a Saturday. • Always write the homework tasks set in your planner. To make the best use of your planner, you need to keep all the sections up to date. Always write in the dates prep is due; it is good practice, and helps you to prioritise. 10
