Homework and Independent Learning

At Winifred Holtby Academy, all students are expected to complete homework as part of their learning and development.

Students can record all homework set in their planner, which they are expected to carry at all times. Parents/carers are asked to monitor homework completion by regularly checking the planner and/or through our Arbor app function for homework tracking. Homework will be monitored and evaluated to support student success.

Key Information:

• Students will receive one stamp for every three pieces of completed homework.
• Each week, the highest quality homework will be recognised with a postcard home.
• Homework tasks, deadlines and completion status will be communicated to parents/carers via Arbor.
• Missed homework will result in faculty detentions, organised and run by the relevant faculty. Continued missed detentions may lead to a parent/carer meeting with the faculty leader.

For any homework enquiries, please contact the relevant subject teacher in the first instance.
