Homework

Homework is an important part of the school’s curriculum as it allows students to revise and reflect on the learning that they have been involved in during the day.

It also allows them to complete additional tasks related to individual subjects and gives them the time management and planning skills they will need in further education and employment.

At Chiltern Academy every subject will be asking students to complete homework tasks and the teachers will put the students’ homework tasks on ClassCharts. Using the app will help your child easily manage the demands of managing their homework and allow parents access to see what homework their child has.
