Home Learning
Home learning teaches students to work independently and develop self-discipline, as well as encouraging students to take initiative and responsibility for completing a task.
Home learning allows parents to have an active role in their child's education and helps them to evaluate their child's progress in close proximity.
What is the purpose of home learning at RFSS?
There is a direct link between
home
learning and academic
achievement.
-
Encourage students to develop the skills needed to learn independently

Develop self-discipline in work habits including working to deadlines

-
Open up areas of study or sources of information that are not accessible in the classroom
-
Enable students to meet the demands of GCSE and other controlled assignments

Prepare students for school and public examinations
​​Our approach to home learning is based on research from the Education Endowment Foundation, which states that homework is:
-
Assisting students to develop skills and attitudes that they need for successful work place and lifelong learning
-
Supporting the development of: good organisation, time management and the confidence to think for oneself
-
Providing teachers with further evidence to ascertain how much of the work in class students have understood and can apply, so that they are better able to plan for progression
