KS3 Homework
Homework Timetable 2024/25
Years 11 and 12
​
GCSE subjects will set at least one homework a week but may set considerably more as exams approach. Check the homework diary!
OCN and Occupational Studies subjects do not set homework as a general rule. The work for these courses is done during class time, so daily attendance is vital.
​
Catering will often assess students via a knowledge test and students will be required to revise in advance. This will often be set as a homework so, once again, check your child's homework diary.

Years 8, 9 and 10
English, Maths, and French set homework weekly. All other subjects set one a fortnight – apart from Drama which sets one a half-term.
A tick in the homework timetable indicates the week in which that subject sets a homework for all groups in that year.
If a class is identified in the ‘week’ column, this indicates when that group receives homework for that subject. The initials after that identifies the class teacher.
If a google classroom code has been included, you can check what homework has been set by following the instructions in the ‘Google Classroom Guide for Students’ found via the link below.
