Homework (Home Learning)
The expectation at Robert Bloomfield Academy is that each pupil reads every evening, either independently or with an adult. Reading regularly has a significant impact on outcomes, mindfulness and language acquisition.
Homework tasks will be recorded in Homework diaries.
There may be points in the academic year that departments set revision-based homework to support assessment points. This will be in addition to the homework timetable currently in place.
