Home Learning at Harris Academy Peckham

Why is Home Learning important?

All teachers at Harris Academy Peckham prepare their curriculum with home learning as a key tool to support students with the retention of key knowledge and the development of metacognitive techniques. We do this as we know that “the evidence shows that the impact of homework, on average, is five months' additional progress." Education Endowment Foundation.

Over time, with your support, and the regular completion of home learning, we know that our students will grow into increasingly independent and life long learners, able to navigate their way through the challenging journey of acquiring and applying knowledge.

How can you support?

You can support your child's Home Learning by:

  1. Checking your child has received and completed their Home Learning each day. All students have been provided with a planner to support with this.
  2. Checking your child’s completion of Home Learning on their Microsoft Teams account.
  3. Checking that your child has completed their Bedrock/SPARXMaths

Support that will be provided in school

  • Our library is open for students at break and lunch every day where students can access computers.
  • Rewards will be given for regular completion of Home Learning
  • Detentions will be given for incomplete Home Learning.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s completion of Home Learning, please do not hesitate to contact us at enquiries@harrispeckham.org.uk

What does Home Learning look like?

Year 7-9

Students will receive home learning a minimum of once every two weeks in each subject. Students will be expected to complete home learning set on the following days:

Picture1

Foundation Subjects – These are all non-core subjects, such as History, French, Music etc.

Year 10-11

Students will receive home learning a minimum of once a week in each subject.

Picture2

For further guidance on Home Learning in our core subjects, please see below.

Science

To support your child's science learning at home, all students are to use the online platform www.Kerboodle.com. Students are expected to complete all assigned home learning tasks.

This resource provides interactive activities, digital textbooks, worksheets, video, and assessments aligned with our curriculum.

To access Kerboodle, students should log in using the username and password provided to them.

The institution code- wrj9, will be required during the first login.

If your child encounters any issues with their account, please contact their science teacher for assistance.

Maths

Students use Sparx Maths to complete their weekly mathematics homework, they were introduced to the platform during a lesson and have been provided with a homework book.

Logging in: students should go to https://sparxmaths.com/ > Log in > Student login

Students created their own passwords, if they have forgotten, they can use the ‘Forgotten Sparx login details?’ button and reset by entering their name and date of birth.

How can I help my child with their Sparx Maths Homework?

Sparx will send you weekly email updates on the completion of homework.

Our top tips for you and your child when using Sparx Maths:

  • Encourage them to tackle it on their own – helping them to build independence and to think hard about their maths work, make sure they are not using AI platforms to do the work for them.
  • Check their work! If students log in, you can see the percentage of work completed on the homepage. Also, please check they are using their homework book (you should see the date they have done their homework each week and work underneath it)
  • Nudge them to use the support videos – these are alongside each question to provide tailored support
  • Suggest that they start early - to give plenty of time for help if they need it There is a guide with further information for parents here - https://sparxmaths.com/parents/

English

Students in Years 7 to 10 use Bedrock to complete their weekly English homework. Students must achieve at least 30 points per week. The Bedrock online platform allows students to earn up to 20 points at a time, so all students must log in to Bedrock at least twice per week in order to ensure that this target is met. This ‘little and often’ approach is a cornerstone of revision guidance, and is an approach that we aim to embed in all students.

At Key Stage 4, home learning is revision-focused and takes the form of a range of the following tasks:

Short tasks (5-10 minutes)

Medium tasks (20-30 minutes)

Longer tasks (45-60 minutes)
  1. Revise the flashcards you have made (you can only do this task after you have made the flashcards!)
  2. Recap the meanings of each Power and Conflict poem
  3. Revise your sentence starters for English language
  4. Plan a response to Paper 1 Question 5 (creative writing)
  1. Create 3x flashcards
  2. Plan a response to Macbeth or A Christmas Carol question (based on an extract)
  3. Plan a response to a Pigeon English or a poetry question
  1. Write up an essay for Macbeth or a Christmas Carol
  2. Write up an essay for Pigeon English or Poetry
  3. Write a creative writing piece
  4. Complete a Section A of a Language Paper.

You can support your child in the following ways:

  • Writing down their Bedrock login details somewhere accessible. If your child is unaware of their Bedrock login details, please email J.Burkill@harrispeckham.org.uk
  • Reminding your child to complete Bedrock regularly, and checking on their weekly points total before Monday night, after which the points total resets.
  • Reading with your child for 15 minutes per evening.
  • If your child is in Year 11, quizzing them using flashcards they have made.
