LeAF Studio School

Home Learning

School Vision

LEAF Studio believes that home learning encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning, developing independence along with the skills and attitudes essential for successful lifelong learning.

School Expectation

Each week, each subject will set a Home Learning task that will be planned to last between 30-60 minutes.

Tasks set by subject teachers will be directly linked to the improvement of student attainment and outcomes. These will either be linked to the current week’s learning (consolidating concepts and skills) or as Pre-Learning for the week around (research, key vocabulary). Students may be given resources to aid their exam preparation, revisiting topics from earlier in a subject curriculum.

Tasks set will be of various nature, as suitable to the subject and students’ needs, but could include the following:

  • Learning of Key Vocabulary through Look-Cover-Write-Check in subject specific Knowledge organisers.
  • Extended writing tasks based on exam-style questions.
  • Use of online apps or platforms to further subject progress
  • Research reports or collating of cultural capital examples to widen the students’ contextual knowledge.
  • Rehearsing/preparing for practical assessments, for example developing choreography in Dance.

 All homework will be set & tracked through assignments on Teams by the subject teacher. It will be set on an agreed day with a full week to complete allowing for the teacher to explain task within their lesson, as necessary.

Homework club is available to support all students 3:15pm – 4:15pm Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday after school. Please note there is no school transport available if your child wishes to attend and normally catches a school minibus or coach, alternative transport will need to be arranged.

Students failing to complete home learning will be issued a behaviour point and a one hour after school detention on a Monday. LEAF Studio appreciates our students have many training commitments outside of school. If a student is unable to complete required work, this needs to be discussed with the Head of Specialism & Head of Year and a personalised agreement will be made and shared with staff, if appropriate.
