SEAL

SEAL stands for Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning and promotes the social and emotional skills that underpin effective learning, positive behaviour, regular attendance and the emotional health and well-being of all who learn and work in schools.

A fundamental part of a child's learning and personal development, SEAL uses a whole-school approach to equip the child with the skills to reflect on their existing practice and shows them how to think of and develop social and emotional skills across all aspects of their school experience.

There are five strands of SEAL, which focus specifically on the following areas:

  • Self-awareness
  • Social skills
  • Managing feelings
  • Empathy
  • Motivation
These strands are incorporated into the child's teaching and learning experience at Shevington High School, allowing pupils to begin developing essential skills; SKILLS FOR LIFE.

COMING SOON! SEAL ON THE VLN.

Titanic Venture!

The Titanic Literacy Day was on Thursday 1st March 2012. Click here for pictures! 

On Thursday 1st March, as a joint celebration of World Book Day and to promote the importance of Literacy, Shevington High School English faculty hosted a day of sea faring activities for y5 pupils from 14 different primary schools.  The event involved pupils and staff dressing in an outfit linking to the Titanic theme so pupils arrived donned in anything from evening gowns, tops and tails, flat cap and braces or sailor suits.  There were feather bowers galore!  The school hall had been dressed with the front section of the Titanic itself as a centre piece and the corridors of the english faculty adorned with portholes and Titanic memorabilia.

The day focussed on pupils taking part in a series of workshops linked to the theme of the day.  Pupils read about the crew and timeline of events on the Titanic before embarking on a multiple choice quiz using our state of the art PowerVote interactive voting system to register their answers.  This was a huge success with all pupils learning some interesting facts about the Titanic and showing they could remember them.

Pupils moved on to put themselves in the position of those on the Titanic on its maiden voyage.  They watched some film clips to help them imagine the setting and atmosphere before writing diary entries about their anticipation and excitement as they set off on this epic journey. They created word clouds showing their wide emotional vocabulary and excellent presentation skills and even wrote some poems with a nautical theme.

Pupils completed their complement of workshops with a dramatic re-enactment of the ship's journey timed to music and a voice over. They were able to demonstrate many emotions of the event through mime and body language and showed great maturity in presenting their work. A number of Shevington High School, Year 8 pupils ably supported the workshops showing great ability to work with younger pupils and support the smooth running of the day as a whole.

The day ended with a celebration of all things Titanic as parents, staff and pupils joined together to present some of the work from the day.  An overwhelming number of pupils wanted to share their work and did so brilliantly well with the ship as a backdrop whilst parents enjoyed afternoon tea in the ship’s lounge.

SHS Ski Trip 2012! - Pictures

During February half term (18th-26th), pupils from year 10 and 11 travelled to Courmayeur in the Italian Alps to take part in various winter sports activities, including skiing and snowboarding. Our pupils had a fantastic time, experiencing different cultures, developing new skills and gaining new friendships. All of our pupils were fantastic ambassadors for the school, showing a mature and sensible manner. All members of staff who accompnied the pupils would like to congratulate them on a brilliant week of skiing and snowboarding. Pictures and videos are now on our Facebook page


Shevington High School is now amongst the 100 top performing schools based on sustained improvement over the last 3 years. See the letter from Nick Gibb - here.


Shevington Speakers Shine On!

Youth Speaks Team named winners of 2012 Intermediate District Final

Despite the fact we had to give up our Saturday in half term...the Youth Speaks team, their parents, Terry Hogan of the Rotary Club - and of course, myself - journeyed to the tranquil setting of the Forest Hills Hotel in Frodsham, Cheshire, to compete against three other schools for the title of Intermediate District champions 2012.

Once again the level of competition was very, very challenging. The tension was much more palatable than the Leigh Zone Final.

A fourth position in the draw didn't help nerves, as the team had to sit through the other competitiors' presentations, and realise just how tough they were going to be to beat! There were a number of truly outstanding performances and speeches, and we all wondered whether the team could once again rise to the occasion...

Once again, they proved they are a TEAM above all else, giving an outstanding performance, with little or no reliance on notes (which endeared them greatly to a tough and experienced judging panel).

After what seemed like an eternal wait, the individual awards were made first - with Laura Whitter being awarded Best Chairperson, and Ben Foster Best Speaker, in the Intermediate category! Amazing!

Following this, Bury Boys Grammar School were announced as Runners Up...and Shevington High School as the winners of this year's competition!

The team were once again ecstatic. This means ourselves and Bury go through to the Regional final - same venue, Sunday 25th March - when eight Intermediate teams will present...but only ONE will go through to the National final in Wales.

Can we do it?

From what I have seen, I have every reason to believe we can. Shine on, Shevington Speakers!

Youth Speaks Win Again! 02/02/2012

On a cold and frosty night, our intrepid Youth Speaks team of Laura Whitter (Chairperson), Ben Foster (Speaker) and Matthew Turner (Proposer of the Vote of Thanks) - plus their proud parents and, of course, myself - journeyed to darkest Leigh for the Zone finals of the current Youth Speaks public speaking competition.

Nerves had begun to show in rehearsals earlier this week, and the team had seemed less confident than they were before the local competition last June. However, in the face of some eloquent and powerful speeches from the first two schools, our team took their places and proceeded to give a performance that showed they could truly rise to the occcasion. Laura introduced the team and their topic with confidence and style; Ben delivered a powerful and passionate speech; and Matthew topped off the team's efforts with an enthusiastic and sincere close to the proceedings.

The tension built as we sat through all the other teams' speeches, which were very interesting and covered a range of topics. We then had to endure a short break while the judges deliberated. Shevington were announced as successful in going through to the District Final, on Saturday 25th February, at Frodsham.

What stood out most for me was how our team could easily have competed at the Senior level. Unlike some of the teams, they knew their speeches almost by heart, and made little reference to notes or cards. A number of the adults attending came to me to praise the team's performance. They truly were a credit to themselves and our school.

I would like to thank the team, their parents, and Terry Hogan from the Rotary Club for the support and enthusiasm shown so far in the competition. Onwards to the next round! Mr Lunt


During this week Mrs Chapman has been responsible for organising an opportunity for year 9 pupils to discuss with Senior Citizens their experiences of the 2nd World War.  As always this is superbly organised and both young people and senior citizens thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to share experiences.

BONJOUR PARIS!

On the 16th December 2011, a group of Y9 and 10 pupils set out to the French capital, Paris. After a long journey, we finally arrived at the Château du Romaine just on the border of Paris.

On Saturday, we visited Le Louvre, as well as seeing magnificent sights such as Notre Dame and the Mona Lisa. The pupils got the chance to also speak French when out and about, like ordering food or even just small talk in public places.

On Sunday, pupils and teachers were all excited for the visit to Disneyland Paris! The day was simply fantastic, experiencing the amazing rides and of course meeting the famous Mickey Mouse himself!

I’d just like to give a big thank you to everyone who helped organise and prepare for the trip. The PGL team were so helpful during our time in Paris and I’m sure everyone enjoyed themselves.

Overall, the weekend was incredible! Also, a last thank you to our lovely coach driver Julie who drove us everywhere whilst we were in France. Thank you Julie from Shevington High School! Miss Hames. For pictures click here

STRIKE ACTION WEDNESDAY 30 NOVEMBER 2011

You will be aware from the media that Trade Unions have balloted their members for strike action in response to the proposed changes by the Government to Public Sector pension arrangements which affect the Local Government Pension Scheme and the Teacher’s Pension Scheme.

Due to the number of staff in school that will be taking action next Wednesday I have no option but to close the school to all pupils, however, school will be open for those members of staff who have chosen not to take strike action. 

I do understand the difficulties that this can pose for parents and guardians and to this end please find details below that may alleviate problems.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further clarification.

Yours sincerely

Mrs H Mackenzie OBE

Headteacher

As you’ll no doubt be aware, next Wednesday the whole of the country will be affected by the National Strikes. Would it be possible for you to pass these details on to parents who may be struggling to find arrangements for their children that day?

Next Wednesday we will be offering a ONE DAY ONLY Football camp for parents / pupils affected by the National Strikes.  This gives parents the opportunity to drop children off between the hours of 8:30am – 9:00am and pick up between 3:30 and 4:30pm and attend our football camps.  (School Hours)  Please note we will be running the camp for £17.50 per head for the full day.  Should you have parents interested they must book in before 6:00pm on Tuesday 29th November.  Unfortunately we cannot accept any children on the day, as we’ll need to know numbers to arrange coaches.

Should you know of any parents interested, please get them to give us a call on 01942 210080 or email us on the details below.  Alternatively you can give Paul Kelly a call on 07960 801167

 Lord Sharkey visits Shevington

On Friday 11th November we were pleased to welcome Lord Sharkey to school. Members of School Council were privileged to meet him and listen to his presentation about the House of Lords.

Pupils listened attentively to his entertaining and eloquent description of how the House of Lords functions. Following the presentation they had the opportunity to ask questions.

Lord Sharkey's visit has been a wonderful opportunity for students to engage in the process of democracy which they can relate to their roles on School Council and may have set the seeds to future career opportunities.

Washington D.C. Study Trip - Gallery here

At the end of October Mrs Mackenzie and Ms Garfield went on a study tour to Washington DC to look at how schools are run over in the capital of the United States.  Ms Garfield is on a course training to be a Headteacher, so they were invited by the "Future Leaders" programme to join other trainee Heads and their mentors for this fantastic opportunity to look at how education works in another country!

After long flights, the days started early with 7.30 being the opening time for all the schools visited.  The first school was called Achievement Prep and had very high standards of routine and behaviour.  Corridors were silent, and students worked much longer hours than here in the UK - from 7.30am to 5.30 everyday.... and sometimes Saturday aswell!

The second school (Meridianb Public Charter School) was like our primary schools, but took students as young as three years old into their classes.  It was a very lively and vibrant atmosphere here and the students performed their school song for the group to listen to.  All these schools are based in very tough areas of Washington and some of the students have very difficult lives.

On the Friday, the group visited Thurgood Marshall Academy which was created by Law Graduates who felt they could create a better education for the people in the area.  It is a top-performing school and had lovely facilities - especially their sports hall!  Students were very polite, well-behaved and achieved very well in this school.  It was important that students took charge of their own learning and they were expected to seek out help and support if they felt they were falling behind.

The final school was Capital City Charter School.  This was a really family-centred school in a very odd building.  It used to be part of a church, so some of the classrooms looked more like dining rooms and ball rooms.... they even had chandeliers!  The students and staff were all very friendly, and although it was a more relaxed atmosphere than some of the other schools, the students managed to get into good colleges.

Ms Garfield and Mrs Mackenzie learned alot about how different countries educate young people during this time in America and are looking forward to sharing some of the good ideas with staff and students at Shevington High.  We may even receive a visit from some of our new American friends later in the year!

Polyglotz day at Shevington - Friday 14th Oct 2011

Shevington High school Language Department opened up its doors to 60 Year 6 pupils from local primaries. The pupils enjoyed a lively and interactive day of taster sessions in French, Spanish, Italian and Mandarin. The day culminated in our 'Grand Café' where parents, teachers and pupils met to celebrate the event. Pupils performed songs and parents enjoyed typical French, Spanish, Italian and Mandarin sweet treats.

Quelle journée! 


National poetry day balloons float to Holland!

On Thursday lunchtime 100 balloons were lifted into the air, each one containing a pupils poem. Each poem had our details on the back incase they landed in nearby Standish or somewhere even further pictures here.....


On Sunday evening Rina got in touch on our facebook page (facebook.com/shevingtonhigh) to tell us she had found balloons! Rina found them in Holland, in Renesse! 9 balloons in total were found after making the 472mile trip and Rina was kind enough to share pictures with us! to view the pictures click here 


Shevington Speakers Prepare To Shine Again!

 On Monday 3rd October, Shevington High had the privilege of a visit from Mr.Terry Hogan, the member of Wigan Rotary Club responsible for the organisation of the Youth Speaks competition in our local area. Mr Hogan met with Mr Lunt, who is coordinating our hosting of the next local heats in June 2012, to begin preparations for what we hope will be a successful and enjoyable event.

 Letters will shortly be sent to local secondary schools inviting them to enter a team in the competition, which has proven, year after year, to be a huge success for Wigan schools. Shevington, current winners of the local heat for this years' competition, are progressing on to the local zone round to be held in January 2012; if successful our team will go on to compete at district, then regional level.

 The Youth Speaks competition is a great opportunity for Wigan school pupils aged 11-13 to rise to the challenge of public speaking in a formal setting. The standard of entries from schools is outstanding, and according to Mr Hogan, continues to improve every year.

Our Headteacher, Mrs Mackenzie OBE, was on hand to meet Mr Hogan, as were Mr Lunt and the three members of our current team - Laura Whitter (Chairperson), Ben Foster (Speaker) and Matthew Turner (Proposer).

Preparations for the event are now underway, and the current team is back in training for the ongoing competition. We continue to celebrate our success so far, and look forward to more to come!

Mr Lunt

Shevington Arts Festival

The Inspiration

Shevington Arts FestOn a cold Sunday in January, I went to visit the Tate Modern Gallery in Liverpool, I was cold, tired and ready for a large hot chocolate covered in marshmallows when i was completely blown away by an exhibition of sculpture. In particular the one featured below. This was because filmed images surrounded the piece of young people talking about the impact of art in their lives. I immediately felt that i wanted young people at Shevington to have an experience of being immersed in art and allowing them to express their individuality and creativity in a stimulating environment. To this end i have worked tirelessly with members of staff on putting together the Shevington Arts Festival - Gateway to Success.

Life is a journey and Shevington plays a large part in young people's journey, it is their Gateway to Success.


Science Festival

Mrs Ashcroft accompanied 4 scientists to the Salters Festival of Chemistry at Manchester University on Monday 20th June 2011. The pupils had a wonderful day and came 1st out of 19 schools in the Forensic Science activity. Well done to all involved!



Shevington Victory at Youth Speaks

In response to the devastating events in Japan, Renaissance Learning would like your help in raising as much money as possible for the Japanese Relief Fund (Japanese Red Cross).

On Wednesday 6th April 2011 we will be hosting a 24hr "Quiz for Japan" event whereby we will donate 5p to the Japanese Relief Fund for every AR quiz we take.

Children In Need - Shevington High has raised £680!!

Thank you to everyone involved and to everyone who donated!! 

I would like to thank all stakeholders for their contribution in the consultation process of our Vision for Shevington. It is great that we work collaboratively together to achieve the best for our students and staff.


SHEVINGTON'S VISION

A family centred school at the heart of the community that nurtures potential, embraces technological innovation and fosters high aspirations to succeed in education, work and life

All different, all equal Taking pride Succeeding together! Meeting the future!

It is with great pride that I accept the honour of an OBE which appeared in the New Years Honours List. This is very much about all of us working together and the practices that we establish together to ensure all of our young people achieve to their full potential. I feel very honoured to be working with staff, governors and parents who are very supportive and work very closely together. All of us put our children first. This has always been and will always be my major priority. Children and young people deserve the very best that we can give them. If we can’t champion their cause well who will? This philosophy has always lived in me and I have done my best to live this out in my personal and professional career and so it was with great surprise combined with joy to hear that I had been awarded an OBE. I have been teaching and in leadership roles for 30 years and how wonderful for the teaching profession that this award recognises collaborative working practices. I will again be visiting the Palace in the next few months to receive my OBE, another new outfit! I look forward to sharing this experience with you all. Helen Mackenzie OBE

On Thursday 21 January Mr Brian Hadgraft Chair of the Governing Body and myself attended the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust reception at the Guild Hall in London. This was a specific invite to myself and Brian. We mingled with the good and great! We spoke with the Secretary State Rt Honourable Ed Balls MP and with Elizabeth Reid Executive Director of Specialist Schools and Academies Trust. Liz was delighted at the Honour I have received and was delighted with the progress the school is making. The Secretary of State was also pleased that when we last met he didn't let it slip that he knew about my forthcoming award.


It was with great sadness that we received news that a former pupil Gilly Prescott passed away. A number of staff attended the funeral on Wednesday 27 January and in the order of service celebrating the life of Gillian I thought these words were so pertinent "may her faith, courage, love and determination never be forgotten." We will always remember Gilly as a lively, dynamic young person full of care and consideration always for others.


Year 11 are coming to the end of their GCSE mock examinations and some pupils have taken early GCSE modules. It is imperative that we all work closely with these young people to ensure that they achieve to their full potential. Also screening will be taking place for year 9 shortly. At our Leadership Team meetings staff always present the data with regards to the information from the screening, recently Mr Griffiths has presented screening information from year 10 and we will be looking forward to Mrs Banks presenting screening on years 7 and 8. The crucial bit in this jigsaw is the action that is taken as a result of what we know about the pupils and groups of learners via important screeing.


On Wednesday 10 February 5.30 – 8.30 pm a Careers Fayre will run for years 9 and 11 pupils and parents. This is a very big event with many employers and colleges present. For year 9 running alongside the Careers Fayre will also be a parents evening . Later on this term there will be an opportunity for year 9 pupils and their parents to have an individual interview with a member of the senior leadership team with regards to the KS4 options process.


I am very grateful to all parents for their co operation with regards to the recent poor weather. The Governors Health and Safety Committee will be receiving reports from both myself and Mrs Neilson on this issue. New procedures are now in place please ensure you click on the correct link.

Vision For Learning

border

Vision for learning

We intend that Shevington High School recognises the value of each pupil as an individual and the importance of nurturing every aspect of their personality - intellectual, creative, emotional, physical and spiritual. The school's aims and values are necessarily closely interlinked to ensure that pupils are provided with the opportunity to develop a reasoned set of attitudes, beliefs and values.

We are a family centred school in a community that nurtures potential, embraces technological innovation and fosters high aspirations to succeed in education, work and life.

All different, all equal

Taking pride

Succeeding together

Meeting the future

Shevington High School aims to provide a secure and caring environment where children:

  • Are safe
  • Are healthy
  • Enjoy and Achieve
  • Make a positive contribution
  • Achieve economic well-being

Shevington Standards

border

 

The 5 Shevington Standards

At Shevington High School in order to meet the aims of this policy, Students and Adults are expected at all times to work hard to meet our 5 Shevington Standards which we have set in order to promote respect. Our attitudes, systems and rules are drawn from and support these standards. They are:-

  1. We will show respect for each other at all times
  2. We will show respect for School property and another person's property at all times
  3. We will show respect for ourselves and others by ensuring that our actions do not put at risk the health and safety of ourselves or others
  4. We will show respect for ourselves and others by ensuring a high standard of personal appearance and organisation.
  5. We will show respect for ourselves and others by supporting a positive climate for learning




border

Personalised Learning

border

Personalised Learning

The term personalised learning means maintaining a focus on individual progress, in order to maximise all learners' capacity to learn, achieve and participate. This means supporting and challenging each learner to achieve national standards and gain the skills they need to thrive and succeed throughout their lives.





border

Nurture

border

Nurture Learning

We are committed to our nurture learning pathway and have witnessed the enormous benefits it affords to pupils.

The pathway is aimed at pupils who have not fully gained the personal and social competences needed to achieve success through a mainstream curriculum. This has often resulted in low levels of learning and in particular poor literacy.

The aim of the pathway is to provide support for missed learning experiences in a primary style setting with moderated provision, targeted to support and address their individual needs. The belief is that within this nurturing environment pupils will develop the social, emotional and learning skills to raise self esteem and independence and underpin future success.

As in all learning pathways in school pupils’ progress will be monitored and careful planning and preparation will be used to integrate pupils into mainstream pathways if or when it becomes appropriate.





border

Curriculum Model for KS3 & KS4

border

Curriculum Model for KS3 & KS4

Our vision is for a curriculum which will provide learning opportunities and support for all young people which nurtures potential, embraces technological innovation and fosters high aspirations to succeed in education, work and life.

The curriculum is designed to meet statutory requirements and support the intended outcomes of the national curriculum. It is all the planned learning experiences for pupils, is inclusive and promotes community cohesion.

The focus for learning for all pupils is the development of the attitudes and attributes needed to achieve success, the skills for learning, life and enjoyment and knowledge and understanding of the world around them.

The aim is to develop a coherent curriculum that builds on young people's experiences in the primary phase and that helps all young people to become successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens.

Specifically, the curriculum is intended to help young people to:

  • Achieve high standards and make better progress
  • Narrow the attainment gap and enable those not achieving age-related expectations at age 11 to catch up with their peers
  • Have and be able to use high-quality personal, learning and thinking skills (PLTS) and become independent learners
  • Have and be able to use high-quality functional skills
  • Be challenged and stretched to achieve their potential
  • Have increased commitment to and enjoyment of learning leading to participation to 19 and beyond

In addition we believe that the curriculum should:

  • Personalise learning to promote motivation and engagement
  • Increase the focus on English and Maths
  • Ensure effective transition at all levels
  • Be fully inclusive
  • Promote current and future well being
  • Provide opportunities to access innovative technologies
  • Provide opportunities for those pupils with gifts and talents to excel
  • Meet the specific needs of all pupils including those with disabilities and with special educational needs.





border

Pathway groupings & Rationale

border

Pathway Groupings

In Years 7 to 9 pupils are placed in Pathways groups. The aim of this arrangement is to provide the best learning environment to support all pupils to achieve success. It allows for the delivery of individual personalised learning within the context of a group of pupils of broadly similar ability.  The naming of the pathways after constellations of stars reflects the belief that all pupils are stars and will, with our help, find a way to shine.

The number and nature of the Pathways is determined by the specific needs of each cohort.

Pathway groupings support transition at Key Stage 2 by providing consistency for pupils, allowing them to form strong relationships with each other and with their teachers. It ensures that a number of the initial challenges such as pupils finding their way around the site and forming new friendship groups are minimised. Pupils in a particular pathway follow the same timetable and are thus able to move around school together so locating teaching rooms more easily.
Pathways groupings are constantly monitored and movement between groups is facilitated as considered appropriate to meet the emotional and academic potential of individual pupils.

Homework

border

Homework Rationale

Homework can be and should be a way of enriching a child's education. Here at Shevington High School we want to encourage independent learners that are both self-disciplined and responsible. We want our young learners to leave Shevington with the right tools to equip them once they move onto the next step of their journey through life. Homework can be in the form of a variety of activities, but should always extend a person's learning.

Aims and Objectives

To provide learning opportunities outside of the classroom
To enable pupils to make excellent progress academically
To allow learners to gain a wide range of skills in their time at school
To encourage communication between home and school so that pupils get the most out of their homework experience

Homework Policy

Year 7 - Click here to download Year 7 Homework

Homework in Y7 will be in the form of three projects given throughout the academic year. Each pupil will have a homework mentor who will provide any help needed in order for them to complete each project successfully.
The different projects will encompass different subject areas so that by the end of the year pupils will have had the opportunity to gain a number of skills.
The core subjects: English, Mathematics and Science will also set regular homework in Y7 according to faculty policy.

Year 8 and Year 9

Homework will be set by the various faculty areas according to their homework policy. These should still allow pupils to extend their learning beyond the classroom and be in the form of a variety of activities.

Year 10 and Year 11

Again homework is to be set by the different faculty areas according to their homework policy. Pupils should be aware of their educational commitments (controlled assessments, exam revision etc) in advance so that they can plan to successfully complete all homework set by the given deadlines.

ENGLISH FACULTY HOMEWORK POLICY

Homework encourages children to work by themselves, take responsibility for their own learning, acquire good study habits and work to a timetable.  However, it is only effective, if the pupil is motivated to complete the homework to the best of their ability.

We appreciate the support of parents in ensuring that homework tasks are completed satisfactorily and are handed in at the appropriate time.

We encourage parents to support their daughter/son by ensuring that appropriate time is given to homework. We like parents to look regularly at the work efforts and comment positively on achievements. We ask parents to discuss homework with their child on a regular basis.

We believe that homework is one vehicle for implementing some of the aims of the English/Media Faculty.

All homework is assessed in line with our Assessment Policy.

Year 7 and 8 

Homework is intended to support pupils’ literacy development.  Unless directed otherwise, pupils should read for 20 minutes twice a week. For pupils in Year 7 and 8 this should be a book from the Accelerated Reader Programme. Parents can track their child’s performance on this system through the Home Connect Website. Where appropriate, teachers may set homework linked to the scheme of work to develop a specific area of literacy for example; spelling.

Year 9, 10 and 11.

Pupils should expect to spend longer on homework as they prepare for GCSE. Year 9 is an integral part of this development. We believe that planning and time management are important skills to foster and develop. Students must expect to work on more than one evening each week. Inevitably some weeks there will be more work than others. English teachers plan with the students and give them dates for submission of work, well in advance. This will mainly be linked to preparing and planning for Controlled Assessments and Modular exams.

Homework at this stage is designed to extend the work of the class lesson, provide the opportunity for reflection, research, consolidation and learning and to prepare for work in future lessons.

Homework may be designed and set by the class teacher or be work required by the GCSE Examinations Board.

MATHEMATICS FACULTY HOMEWORK POLICY

  • Homework in Maths will be given by the class teacher using the website www.mymaths.co.uk Homework is set on a regular basis and falls in line with the SOW for all pupils. The homework set can be a combination of extension work and consolidation work; especially when an assessment is coming up.
  • All pupils have both the school and personal login and passwords to access the website. Using the website means that homework can be personalised and feedback of how well they have achieved is instant.
  • The Maths faculty have a suite of computers that are available to use on request both at the start of school and lunchtime.
  • Staff will check the website on due dates and inform parents if homework is not complete via letter.
  • From September all pupils that complete their homework to ‘green’ standard every term will be entered into a prize draw. This will hopefully motivate pupils to be more responsible for their learning at home.

SCIENCE FACULTY HOMEWORK POLICY

Homework plays a significant part in the science faculty plans. It is used to support learning and understanding, to provide the opportunity for pupils to demonstrate such learning, to enable the acquisition of further and extended knowledge, to provide the opportunity for research of topics, to extend pupils literacy, numeracy and ICT skills and to allow pupils to develop their understanding of the importance of science in and its applications in citizenship. It will also allow pupils to develop their skills of planning, analysing and evaluating in scientific enquiry. 

Appropriate homework relating to the teaching units being studied should be set.

Homework should be set according to the timetable for the particular group. It should be relevant and meaningful. It should always be recorded in the lesson plan and pupils planners. Failure to complete homework is a serious matter as it will have a direct impact on pupil progress and the achievement of their potential. It should therefore be checked and its completion recorded in the teacher’s planner/mark book. Failure to complete homework should be recorded on a class record sheet. Pupils should be given a second opportunity to complete the homework (check planner to see if homework is recorded) but if it is still not done a letter should be sent home to inform parents. This is particularly important at KS3 as it develops good habits and the maintenance of high standards prior to GCSE. If homework is persistently not completed it should be recorded on the pupil data base and the Head of Science should be informed. Homework should be marked to give pupils feedback on their level of understanding and with comments to move their learning forward (ref: Assessment for Learning).
