Homework

Homework develops independent study and enables students to become life-long learners. This page explains how and why we set homework.

How is homework set?

Homework is set weekly in accordance with the homework timetable. Download the current homework timetable (updated July 2025).

All homework is set on Microsoft Teams. All students have access to Microsoft Teams using their school log in details. For more support on how to log in to MS Teams please email logins@harrisclapham.org.uk.

How will I know when homework is due?

This information can be found on MS Teams or on the respective websites that subjects use. This allows students to take responsibility for their learning and also allows the teacher flexibility in setting the homework at the most appropriate point in the students' learning. 

Why homework matters - five key reasons

As the world of education changes, homework is more important than ever. So, what are the five most important reasons homework is important in modern education?

  • As GCSE courses now place a greater emphasis on end of course exams, it is essential pupils become independent learners at as early an age as possible.
  • With the emergence of the internet, information is more readily available than any other time in history. Relevant, investigative, homework tasks inspire pupils to explore this wealth of information for themselves.
  • Independent study teaches important life skills.Only by working without the support of teachers can pupils learn how to self-manage and find answers for themselves.
  • It's not the work completed in class that will ultimately decide pupils’ GCSE results. It’s the hours spent at home or in the library honing the knowledge and skills required for success.
  • Homework can be fun - an opportunity for parents and other adults to take an active interest in what their child is doing.

Remote learning

If your child needs to study from home in exceptional circumstances, we have clear procedures in place to ensure their learning continues with minimal disruption. 

Drawing on our extensive experience with remote education, we know how to make it effective and engaging for students. Should the need arise, we’ll ensure that both you and your child receive the support and resources necessary to make learning from home a success.
