HOW CAN WE DO THIS? • Homework will be set by subject teachers at a sensible frequency. • This will differ for each subject depending on: The number of curriculum hours per subject. The nature of the subject (project work / practical work / research etc..). • If you have any concerns about homework, please contact the form tutor in the first instance.
HOW CAN WE DO THIS? • Tudor Grange uses an online system called ‘Show My Homework’. • This online system allows teachers to share any homework that has been set with a specific student or class. • Each student can log in and see the homework set, its due date and ask for reminders to be sent to their phone. • Students are expected to regularly log on to this platform to check outstanding homework and to enable them to meet deadlines. • Parents are also encouraged to access this online system to help support their child in completing their homework. • All students and parents have already been given their unique login, so please talk your child and access the system at your convenience.

THE REWARD SYSTEM • Students will be rewarded with stickers where they show exceptional ability or work ethic in lesson. • These stickers are worth points once they are logged on the ‘ Mysticker ’ website. • Praise emails or praise postcards can also be sent by staff to the parents of a student if they do something particularly impressive. • Certificates will be awarded to the students when they achieve milestones in their total points. • Students receive regular reminders of their current total points (detentions generate negative points incorporated in total). • Incentives available to students achieving high total points, for example a reward trip to Alton Towers.
