87% of parents felt that their child receives appropriate h/w for their age

Response: The amount of h/w set is regularly monitored. As all students will take different amounts of time to complete h/w it is difficult to analyse how much time is spent on h/w. Based on the analysis so far, year 7 students currently receive slightly less h/w than they should. We will continue to monitor the amount of h/w set.

Comments – some parents commented on access to computers. H/w club runs every night afterschool. All students have access to printing on site. This has now been extended to include break time.
