Homework at Harris Academy Morden

 

At Harris Academy Morden, homework plays a vital role in developing students’ independence, enquiry, evaluation, creativity, organisation and time-management skills. All students are issued with a planner and are expected to use it routinely to record tasks, organise their time and meet deadlines. Students are also advised to record login/password details on page 27 of their school planner.

We do not operate a fixed homework timetable at Harris Academy Morden. Instead, homework is set regularly in line with our guiding principles (see below). Tasks are designed to be inclusive, accessible and appropriately challenging, with tailored support for SEND, EAL and More Able students. Teachers provide clear instructions, deadlines and strategies to help students manage their workload effectively.

Teachers encourage students to build good study habits and we ask parents and carers to support this by helping establish consistent routines at home, while allowing students to take increasing responsibility for their learning.

SEND Homework Clubs run on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays 3pm-3.45pm.
