Guide to Faculty Homework Detentions

It is important to remember that we are placing this level of important on homework due to the positive impact that it has on attainment and progress for your child.  Homework, on average, can add five to eight months’ additional progress each year for your child, it also helps with developing the skills your child needs in order to become an effective independent learner.  These skills will support your child all the way through their time in education.

It is because of this that each faculty runs their own Homework Detention when a student fails to hand in homework on time.  The detentions take place on a Monday and a Wednesday after school for thirty minutes.  

Students must attend the Homework Detention.  Parents and students are notified of the sanction on the Satchel:One App, and be given 24 hours notice.

The rooms that each Faculty runs these sessions in are listed below:

  • Maths Faculty – 439
  • Expressive Arts and PE Faculty – 53
  • Science – 420
  • Technology – 12
  • Humanities - 430/432
  • English – 34/36
  • Languages - 42
