Homework completion is a vital part of student learning. It often enables students to prepare for upcoming lessons or helps to consolidate recent learning. Homework is therefore set regularly, as part of a homework timetable for each year group. The expectation is that all homework is complete and presented to teachers by the deadlines given.

If your child gets more than one sanction in the day, some of these will be rolled over to the next day. This can lead to a back log of detentions being set in advance, hence students having a detention before the day has begun.

All detentions will be assigned to a subject, with the exception of late detentions. A student will get a late detention if they are late to school, if they are late to 2 lessons in a day, or if they are late to 4 lessons in a week. This detention will not have a subject next to it as it is auto scheduled from registers.
