LHS Year 10 Information Booklet 2017-18

Teaching & Learning: Homework at LHS
Litherland High School uses the program Class Charts to set homework. It allows staff to upload
homework quickly and easily. Students are issued with log in details and can access their homework tasks,
completion dates and relevant resources from the website. It allows parents/carers the opportunity to
support their child’s learning and be informed about the homework set.
Rationale:
Learning is a life-long process both inside and outside of school. We believe that homework provides
invaluable opportunities for students to engage with their learning outside of the classroom environment.
Homework aims to enhance the learning of students, assist their progress and allow for consolidation of
their work. It promotes independence, time management and drives students to take an active role in
their learning and in their progress.
Aims:
Subject
To encourage students to take more responsibility for their own learning.
To promote self-reliance and self-confidence and encourage the habit of independent learning.
To widen the learning experience by encouraging students to use materials and sources of
information not available in the classroom.
Allocated Homework Time:
The purpose and value of homework activities are more important than the precise amount of time
devoted to them. However, the time allocations indicated allow for meaningful tasks to be completed and
is a reasonable time in line with national average.
