Homework at Spires Academy 2023 - 2024

Regular homework is a valuable part of the learning process as well as forming good study habits.  It gives opportunities for more independent learning and additional time for study to help students achieve higher standards. 

The school uses Arbor to record all homework assignments.  To All students and parents have an individual log in for Arbor. If you have lost yours or there are any issues accessing the site please contact hovenden@spires.e21c.co.uk

Years 7 & 8 will have homework set once a week in:

  • English
  • Mathematics
  • Science
  • History
  • Geography
  • Ethics
  • French

Years 9 to 11 will have homework set once a week in all examination courses:

  • English
  • Mathematics
  • Science
  • History
  • Geography
  • Ethics

In most cases, students will have up to a week to complete any homework task as many of our students have clubs outside of school which may mean that overnight completion is difficult.  Students must organise their time to ensure that they are not trying to complete too many tasks on the same evening but that homework is submitted on time.

The duration of each homework per subject per week is:

  • Year 7 & 8 - 30 minutes
  • Year 9 and 10 - 45 minutes
  • Year 11 - 60 minutes
