Home Learning Guidance
At Pilton we are committed to working with parents, carers and students in a three way partnership in order to support students in achieving their potential. One of the most common areas over which we are asked questions is homework. Most of our parents and carers place considerable value upon homework and are concerned about providing the right help and support at home.
The purpose of homelearning at Pilton Community College is:
• To help students develop the skills necessary to be independent and lifelong learners.
• To enable students to make faster progress through the consolidation and extension of classroom activities.
• To emphasise that learning is something that happens in a number of contexts and not just at school.
• To create and strengthen the partnership with parents.
When it comes to homelearing two things that can really help a parent to support their child are knowing what homelearning is set when and how to help.
The following information is aimed at providing clear homelearning timetables for all years and guidance on how to support your child when doing school work at home.
