How much homework is set ?
This depends on the age of the pupil. As a general rule, in the Infant Department no homework is set but pupils are expected to take reading books home to share with their parents. In the Junior Department, from Year 3 onwards pupils use a homework diary to note down any homework tasks they need to remember. Depending on their age they are expected to carry out between 1.5 hours of homework per week in Year 3, to half an hour per day plus written work at the weekends in Year 6. In addition to this they are encouraged to read in both English and Spanish. In the Secondary Department pupils are set purposeful, relevant homework tasks on a regular basis. In Years 7, 8 & 9 the time allocated varies from one hour per night to one and a half hours, with four homework assignments at the weekend. In Years 10 and 11 students receive approximately 2 hours homework per night with assignments at the weekend.
