HOME learning

At Saints Peter and Paul Catholic High School we recognise the importance of home learning in student progression. Studies show that students who complete good home learning over Y7-11 make one year’s extra progress.  As a result we expect all our students to produce quality home learning that meets the deadlines set by teachers.

How Is Home learning Set?

Students can login to ClassCharts to view and record their home learning.

This is a fantastic platform which allows teachers to publish home learning and resources to classes of students and allows the students to complete home learning on their home computers, tablets or smartphones.
