Approximate hours of homework given

The following guidelines articulate the school’s broad expectations about the amount of time students might reasonably be expected to spend on home learning and provide a useful framework for parents. However, the precise amount of time spent on home learning is much less important than the quality of the tasks set and the way in which they are planned to support learning.

YEAR GROUP TIME ALLOCATION HOME LEARNING ACTIVITY
1 to 2 1 hour per week Reading, spelling (in year 2 only), occasional literacy work or number work
3 to 4 2 hours per week Reading, spelling, numeracy and literacy
5 to 6 2 hours per week Regular weekly schedule with continued emphasis on literacy and numeracy but also ranging widely over the curriculum. This may include practical work or research projects
7 to 9 90 minutes per day Allocated by subject in accordance with the home learning timetable published at the start of each academic year and to include reading for pleasure.
10 to 11 2 hours per day Dependent upon the demands of IGCSE subjects and to include wider reading
12 to 13 Variable Dependent upon the demands of A Levels and to include wider reading and university entrance preparation
