Personal Study

These are booklets of work that are to be completed outside of lesson time, usually at home. This replaces traditionally set homework. The tasks will emphasise literacy through faculty booklets and numeracy skills through Mathematics units and will encourage the students to develop their independent learning skills. Teachers may still ask a student to complete a learning task at home such as revision for a test or learning a list of vocabulary in addition to Personal Study work.

• The year has been split into six-week blocks. At the start of each block students will take home three subject booklets and three Mathematics units. They do not all have to be completed at once.
• The booklets will each have a deadline date on the front. They must be completed by this date and handed into your Learning Tutor.
• A faculty booklet will contain 2 or 3 hours work each.
• The Mathematics units will contain about one hour of work.
• Students will need to organise their time so that the booklets are finished by the deadline.
• Students may wish to complete one or more booklets before the deadline.
• The booklets are always handed out and collected in on a Thursday by the Learning Tutor.

We ask parents to help us by ensuring that work is done conscientiously, in the best possible conditions.

Additional copies of the booklet will be available from the school website later in the year.
