Homework
At Bristol Brunel we believe that good quality homework is important to support learning that has taken place in class. Knowledge is the key to unlocking potential and independence over time.
Why is homework important?
The current KS3 homework policy is based on the ‘Learning Scientists’ of retrieval practice. This is up-to-date research that proves how effective retrieval practice helps with embedding knowledge and long-term memory. Additionally, research conducted by the Education Endowment Foundation in 2020 concluded that homework can result in five months’ additional progress.
Our aim is for every child to achieve more and maximise their learning in school so there is no option for your child to fall behind with homework. We have the highest expectations of what your child can achieve and with your support we can make exceptional things happen.
