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.

Support and Sanctions

To ensure consistency across the school, the following consequences should be implemented for late homework:

1st Reminder on day of deadline	Complete ‘homework deadline missed’ on SIMs (0)
2nd Reminder in next lesson	Complete ‘warning’ on SIMs (0)
3rd Reminder in the following lesson	Complete ‘yellow card’ on SIMs with explanation of late homework three times (2) Compulsory attendance to Homework Support – not currently running but will introduce when appropriate to do so.

 

Study Club will also run daily to allow pupils who may want to complete their work with support from a member of staff can attend. This will run daily in KS2 and three times a week in KS3.
