Homework at The Chantry School
Key routines
At The Chantry School, homework is one of the key routines that helps our pupils consolidate their learning, practise essential knowledge and develop the independence they need to thrive at GCSE and beyond. It reinforces what happens in the classroom, stretches thinking, and gives pupils a chance to take ownership of their progress.
Whether it is revising key concepts, preparing ideas for the next lesson, or completing a short written task, homework supports pupils in building the habits of self-discipline, curiosity and resilience that sit at the heart of successful learning.
Our approach is balanced and purposeful
Teachers set meaningful tasks that connect directly to classroom learning, and pupils are supported to organise themselves through clear instructions, appropriate deadlines and the use of Arbor.
Homework at KS3 is short and focused, while KS4 tasks prepare pupils for the demands of examinations and extended study. We also recognise the importance of wellbeing, so any homework set over the holidays comes with extended deadlines to allow pupils time to rest and recharge.
Ultimately, homework is a partnership between school, pupil and home, designed to help every pupil feel confident, capable and ready for the next step in their learning journey. Homework timetables are available to view below.
