Homework and Additional Resources
Across the year groups, teachers will set homework as appropriate. Homework will be set to enhance learning not simply for the sake of setting homework. This may include written work, research or revision. In addition, students are encouraged to:
- Read the daily broadsheet newspapers (or their associated Apps) to develop knowledge and understanding of the world today.
- Learn carefully and accurately the meaning of key words provided in class.
- Use the revision resources provided in year 11.
All students in years 7, 8 and 9 are encouraged to complete the History activities in their Learning Beyond the Classroom booklets.
At Key Stage 3 students can also be encouraged to read historical novels to assist their learning, such as Kevin Crossley-Holland’s Arthur and the Seeing Stone (Year 7), Mary Hooper’s Fallen Grace or Michael Morpurgo’s Private Peaceful (Year 8). Students may enjoy watching or reading the Horrible Histories series.
