RVHS- whole school HW policy 2020- A.C.E.D
Intent statement- The Home Learning provision @ RVHS must provide students with an opportunity to learn independently, to develop study skills and to practise the RVHS revision techniques. The Home learning policy progresses students through the key stages in preparation for examinations and beyond.

Term 1-3 information:

Compulsory HL must compliment your curriculum map to support topics and skills covered- subject areas to decide what type of tasks to be set for year 7, 8 and 9. Video recorded instruction to be used where necessary. Year 7,8 and 9 pupils will also have access to reading lists- all available on our school website. When extended home learning tasks are set, teachers will label tasks as CORE and EXTENSION. Students will complete tasks as guided by their teacher. This needs to be reinforced verbally by the subject teacher. Examination periods – HL will not be set during these periods- revision will be set instead- Google classroom will be used to store revision materials needed for the upcoming examination.

Please refer to ‘home work’ as ‘home learning’ All home learning to be set via Google Classroom All home learning to be submitted via Google Classroom- paperless All home learning (where applicable) to receive feedback via Google classroom- please refer to the feedback policy for more information. Regularity of tasks set to support the RVHS HL timetable- slide 1 Should a year group have to revert to remote learning, then the expectation would be that the original home learning protocol would be in place
Absent students- those learning from home: ALL lesson powerpoints will be uploaded to Google classroom in the ‘Material section’ (at least bi-weekly) to ensure that students who are absent can access classwork that they have missed. Students who are absent and able to complete classwork must then submit this work via Google classroom. This ‘Material’ won’t show as an assignment- it will only show as material for students to access as and when they wish.
It must be stressed that all home learning sanctions must be taken on a case by case basis. Please use your professional judgement before sanctioning.
