Home Learning
At Hailey Hall School pupils are set home learning activities every week. This information will be communicated with students and parents through our Home Learning platform called SatchelOne and from this link Satchel One | Login which is accessible through the Office 365 suite of programmes.
We recognise the benefits involved in pupils taking responsibility for their own learning and developing independent learning skills.
The reasons we promote Home Learning are as follows:
- It improves thinking and memory
- It helps develop positive study skills and habits that will serve the pupil well throughout life
- It encourages the pupil to use time wisely
- It teaches the pupil to work independently
- It teaches the pupil to take responsibility for their work
- It allows the pupil to review and practice what has been covered in class
- It helps the pupil to get ready for the next lesson
- It helps the pupil learn to use resources, such as libraries, reference materials and computer websites to find information
- It encourages the pupil to explore subjects more fully than classroom time permits
- It allows the pupil to extend learning by applying skills to new situations
- It helps the pupil integrate learning by applying many different skills to a single task, such as book reports or science projects
- It helps parents/carers learn more about what their child is learning in school
- It allows parents/carers to communicate about what their child is learning in school
- It encourages parents / carers to be proud of their child’s achievements
We expect pupils to:
- spend the appropriate time to complete their home learning to the best of their ability
- be prepared to work collaboratively with others when necessary
- be prepared to attend support classes at lunch time and after school
- hand in home learning tasks on the day it is due
We expect teachers to:
- set relevant home learning tasks frequently and regularly
- provide meaningful feedback, marking and comments
- Provide a termly plan of home learning tasks and activities
- set activities that are differentiated, inclusive, appropriate, challenging and which vary in type and style
- praise and reward the completion of home learning tasks that have been finished to a high standard
We expect parents / carers to:
- talk through home learning tasks each night and ask relevant questions
- encourage the completion of tasks to a high standard
