Longridge High School

Pupils

• 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.

Parents

• 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.
