homework

=**__Homework__**=

Homework is set weekly in English via your homework booklet. It is designed to reinforce the skills you will use in lessons each half-term.


 * __When Is It Set, Due and Marked?__**

Activities from the booklet are set during your second lesson of English each week and is due in the next day.

Your work is marked by a partner in class and the teacher records your marks in their markbook. Your teacher collects in your homework booklet each half-term and records the marks onto a database!.


 * __Why Do Homework?__**

Homework is vital to boosting your skills and level in KS3 and students that fail to produce homework on the due day will serve a Department Detention (with a letter going home to notify their parents/guardians of the detention).

At the end of each half-term, Mr Barton requests all the homework marks and if you have performed well, you could be nominated by your teacher to receive an English Award. Who knows? With top marks each week, you might **win!**

N.B: Any student that is underperforming in homework will have their home contacted and parents/guardians informed of this problem which is preventing their son/daughters progress.
