Homework
Setting Homework
All homework is set on Satchel One. Students are provided with a school login to access their profile. Please contact the school reception team or email info@coveschool.uk if you have any issues regarding access to Satchel One.
Teachers and students find Satchel One useful in managing their working week. As well as making the frequency of homework setting crystal clear, Satchel One also allows teachers to give more detailed instructions.Helpful resources (eg. lesson PowerPoints, video clips) can be uploaded to all students’ Satchel One profile by their teachers to support their completion of homework tasks.
Homework Timetables
Each year group have their own bespoke homework timetable, which sets out when the student should complete each task throughout the week.
Homework tasks
Students will complete a variety of tasks that are designed to engage, inspire and deepen their understanding in all of their subjects. Teachers will provide detailed instructions and helpful resources with every piece of homework. Students will be expected to complete their homework to a high standard and all homework will be marked by the teacher and ways to improve provided.
Reading
At KS3, dedicated reading sessions have been assigned on the homework timetable. All students should read as often as they can to improve their literacy, develop their imagination and learn more about life. Students can make use of the school library which has a huge variety of books.
At KS4, we still encourage students to read as much as they can. Due to the amount of revision that is expected for success at GCSE we have omitted a dedicated reading session on the homework timetable. Though students can still make use of the library services at school and read for pleasure.
Rewards
Teachers will use the school rewards policy to acknowledge student dedication to their homework. Curriculum areas will also run House competitions throughout the school year to provide students another opportunity for success via their homework.
For any further enquiries regarding the homework policy at Cove School, contact the Assistant Headteacher Mr. J. Gee at j.gee@coveschool.uk.
