Homework, Revision & Support

Reading

Your child should read for at least 30 minutes each evening. They should read a book which is the appropriate level for them. Novels are excellent for engagement but fact based books also offer a lot in terms of expanding vocabulary. A selection of appropriate books for 11-16 year olds can be found here.

Hegarty Maths

Hegarty Maths is an online maths programme that has videos and questions on every maths topic for Y7-11. You can check what your child has been doing and how long they have spent on Hegarty in the “My Scores” tab found in the top right corner when logged in. The aim is to get as many topics at 100% as possible. Regularly check the ‘donut’ on their homepage to see how well they are doing. Go to: www.hegartymaths.com
