Home Learning

At Co-op Academy Leeds we have high expectations of all of our students. This is because home learning has the capacity to increase the progress students make and develops good study habits which will benefit students throughout their academic career.

Aims of Home Learning

To develop knowledge and understanding
To identify gaps in knowledge and understanding
To provide a vehicle to close gaps that have been identified through formative assessment
To develop academic culture and habits
To encourage student self-responsibility and raise achievement.
To allow students to maximise their potential

Home Learning Principles

Home learning is an integral part of our curriculum offer, not an add on
All students should receive 1 – 2 hours of home learning per day

Home Learning Expectations

Key Stage 3

1 hour per week for English, maths, science, history and MFL. This home learning will be completed in students' pink home learning book and utilises the knowledge organisers in their Phase Planner.

KS3 Home Learning Instructions

Students in years 7, 8 and 9 are set home learning which utilises the knowledge organisers in the back of their phase planner. Each subject is allocated a day (as per the home learning timetables) and students are to 'look, say, cover, write, check' the information from the correct box on that subject's knowledge organiser. There is a page in their phase planner which will tell you which box it is that week, it does correspond to the week we are in (e.g. week starting 5.9.23 was week 1, week starting 11.9.23 was week 2).

Look, say, cover, write, check is a great strategy for memorising facts.

The stages are described below:

Key Stage 4

Y10 and Y11 students are set home learning directly from their class teachers as they require home learning that is more specific to their stages of the learning journey in each area. Students who complete home learning regularly, to a good standard are more likely to achieve better results in their GCSEs and create longer lasting habits for learning in the future.
