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.


Home learning Timetable
Home learning will appear on ClassCharts at 3.00 pm each Monday and students will have until 8.00 am the following Monday to submit their work in the appropriate way according to their teachers' instructions.
KS3 (Years 7 - 9)

KS4 (Years 10 and 11)

Home learning is a minimum of 60 minutes per evening
Support
Home learning club is available at break time, lunch and after school in the Wilson Centre. It provides the students with a calm, quiet environment to complete their home learning pieces as well as providing access to all the resources in the resource centre to help with their work. With access to computers, books and other resources it is the perfect place for students to progress with their learning.
