Longridge High School

Homework is an important part of your learning and prepares you for revision and study in later years. Doing it well will help you to develop the skills you will need to succeed in the future.

Find a quiet place where you can concentrate. Switch off all distractions such as mobile phones and televisions/ear pods.

Always check Synergy for details about your homework and when it needs to be completed.

You need the right equipment to do the best work. Make sure you have a pen and all other equipment ready.

Always speak to your subject teacher, form tutor or head of year if you are having problems with it.

Do not leave it until the night before. Always try to do the work on the day it is set while it is still fresh in your mind.

There is a homework timetable on the website. This is to help you space out your homework tasks during the week and over the weekend. Teachers will set work using the timetable.

We really value the support of parents and carers. Check the online learning platform Synergy to check the details of the homework set. You will be given a login for this platform and can view the tasks on computer or mobile phone. This platform will allow you to monitor your child’s homework by seeing which homework has been set and when it was completed and handed in. Once it has been marked, parents will be able to see the completed homework along with feedback from the class teacher and a final grade/mark.

Take an interest in what they are doing. Talk to them about what they have to do so that they feel supported and ready to work.

Ensure that your child has the correct stationery and equipment needed at home and there is a suitable quiet place for them to study.

Please remind your child to bring any completed homework with them to school before the deadline.

Never need to borrow equipment from their friends or their teacher
