- Quizzes and polls
How we support learning:
- Written and verbal feedback on all classwork, homework and assessments, including targets for improvement.
- Individual teacher support in the classroom as required and personalised support outside the classroom as necessary.
- Extension tasks where necessary, which offer the opportunity to progress further.
How parents can support learning:
- Provide access to a computer at home with appropriate software.
- Encourage reading an appropriate range of texts, both fiction and non-fiction.
- Support homework activities and discuss the texts studied in class.
- Borrow or buy set texts and revision guides.
