Homework.
Homework is set twice a week. One is usually writing or comprehension. The other could be
Learning/research/revision/spelling.
How progress is assessed
Half termly tests are based on the three attainment targets for Key
Stage 3 based on past SAT's / OCSE papers. Each pupil is given a mark and national curriculum level on each attainment target plus an overall subject level. Each pupil also completes a self-assessment sheet every half term.
Other information
