SAM Learning:
Will help as part of a balanced
homework diet
Might suit students
who don’t like
traditional homework
Won’t teach you anything on its own;
but is a good test of what you know
1. Contact your child’s subject teacher if there is a subject specific issue
2. Contact your child’s form tutor if there are ‘across the board’ issues that are not concerned with just one subject
3. Any further issues with homework contact Stephen Richards, Deputy Headteacher: [email protected]
