At Walthamstow Academy, every student is expected to complete homework every night. We use 'Google Classroom' to set, track and monitor homework at the Academy - students, parents and teachers are all given their own individual log-ins so that homework is easy to access and understand for all.

Each piece of homework should take the following amount of time to complete: 

Year 7 - 8:           30 - 45 minutes per homework

Year 9:                45 – 60 minutes per homework

Year 10 - 11:       60 – 75 minutes per homework

You can receive an update of your student’s homework tasks by joining Google Classroom Guardian email summaries. This will give you weekly or monthly updates including:

• Missing work—Work that’s late at the time the email was sent
• Upcoming work—Work that’s due today and tomorrow (for daily emails) or work that’s due in the upcoming week (for weekly emails)
• Class activity—Announcements, assignments, and questions recently posted by teachers
