How we support learning: Students are encouraged and expected to be independent learners and will be given guidance to achieve this. · Students will be given homework on a regular basis in order to promote practice of exam technique · Misconceptions will be addressed during lessons and corrected · Students are encouraged to make use of many available resources, including seeking help from their teacher during lesson time and breaks · Homework and exams will be marked on a regular basis to track progress |

How parents can support learning · Support homework activities · Promote study at home (which can exceed 6 hours a week depending on the topic) and provide a suitable environment for independent study as well as a place to sit practice exams once revision has started. · Take an interest in your daughter’s progress and the individual feedback she receives |
