We believe that homework makes a vital contribution to students’ progress and should be used to reinforce or extend what is learned in school, in addition to developing student independent learning habits.
Students are expected to complete their homework to the best of their ability and we hope they feel a sense of satisfaction from completing this task and from their efforts being recognised and celebrated. We ask that parents and carers support us in supporting their child’s independent learning by providing a suitable space for completion of tasks and ensuring homework is completed on time with maximum effort.
All homework will be set on the online platform, Arbor, so that students and parents/carers can easily see what has been set and access any necessary resources.
We want homework to be a productive use of students’ time and, where possible, for student to enjoy completing these tasks, therefore a variety of activities are set.
We have a number of online resources that are often used for homework, that require an additional log in:
Literacy is a key feature of all lessons at Brymore and this is also reflected in our homework structure.

The SEND department run a homework support club afterschool each day to support students with their independent learning.
Boarding students have “prep” each day for an hour where they are able to access support from boarding staff or work independently.
