Homework and Online Reporting
For 2022-23, we are moving our Online Reporting to Arbor, which can be viewed via the Arbor App or website. If you would like copies of reports from previous academic years, you will be able to print them off from the original Online Reporting system before the end of the Autumn Term 2022.
We are also using Show My Homework – please use the Public Calendar or go to the Login Page
At Birchwood, we place strong emphasis upon the importance of homework throughout all years within the school. We see homework as a vital part of the pupils’ learning experience, enhancing attainment and ensuring that strong foundations are laid within early stages of the curriculum to aid progression and development into certificated courses and beyond. Homework is seen as an important way in which student achievement can be raised.
Students will be encouraged to recognise the value of homework, and made fully aware of its capacity to improve their learning. Students should seek appropriate support from their teacher and ask questions to ensure that they are able to complete tasks set for homework in good time and certainly before the due date.
Students are responsible for completion of home learning to the best of their ability and on time. It is the student’s responsibility to catch up with homework missed due to absence.
